A World We Dare to Imagine Part 3

“Xie’s Bookstore” for Underprivileged Children in China


Mission of the Organization
This organization will be an NGO aiming at improving the education quality that underprivileged kids receive in the rural area of China. These kids were born in the poor family which couldn’t afford to send kids to go to schools and oftentimes expect their children, after completing the mandatory education dictated by the Chinese government, to come back and to farm, thus to ease the family’s burden, even though majority of these kids are only thirteen or fourteen years old while their urban peers continue to receive higher education.

Therefore, the organization intends to expand the availability of quality education to these underprivileged children, and thusly empower them to break the shackles of farming and enlarge their repertoire of knowledge to pursue dreams that could elevate the society more or to work from positions that are more value-added.

Implementation of the Strategy
The organization plans to achieve the goal by combining technological resources and traditional educational resources, and to deliver the package in the form of online education via tablets or computers. The technological resources will be sourced from technological teams who have expertise in online education. Organizations such as Sunshine Bookstore have already showed initial intention to partner with us. Educational resources will be sourced from Massive Online Open Course (MOOC), and our organization is in the process to obtaining permission from universities and online MOOC hubs such Coursera.

For the next steps, these quality resources will be adapted to make it easier to understand for kids in the rural area. The distribution of tablets is going to be funded and supervised by government’s funding and social sources that care about the social cause. In order to deliver timely updates/feedback and information, our organization also intends to work closely with regional/local governments to improve the infrastructure of Internet access.

Value of the Organization
The organization will ensure the underprivileged kids receive education that is effective, and encompassing, to help them expand horizon and realize the world is an enormous space full of possibilities where they can pursue different career opportunities rather than solely becoming another farmer, another shepherd, etc., thusly truly allowing them to dare to imagine a brand-new world for themselves and their families.

Xie’s book is the first organization of its kinds and will make a difference in the lives of underprivileged in the rural area, and can also be applied in urban areas where kids are not receiving quality education.


Underprivileged kids who yean for learning are going to be empowered to realize how to get access to more educational resources and how much is out there to be learned. Providing children who have the curiosity to learn with effective tools and methodologies is not only fundamental to improve their standards of living, but also a vital approach to mitigate wealth inequality and various social issues. The organization will bring these kids hope and shed light in their lives, ultimately inspiring generations to advance and grow.
