On 26^thMarch 2016, the international school volunteer team had a visit to the domestic integrated service center. With our passion and the well-planned activities, the children and our teammates had a wonderful day in the center.

Although the left-behind children are so young, they are so independent and more mature when compared with the same age children.  Cooking a meal is just a piece of cake for them. Some of the children were so familiar with the use of knife and helped our teammates to pickle the chicken wings. What a meaningful platform for our team and the children to have a lesson! 

During the pickling time, the volunteers and the children spent their time to learn. They read in the library in the center and took some photos with each other for memorization.  The children were so excited by seeing the camera and they acted like models in front of us. Some of them even wanted to learn how to be a photographer and created their masterpieces.   After half an hour, the appetizing chicken wings were finished.  

Having a meal with warm atmosphere may be just a wish for them, but today, we make it come true.  After the meal, the children helped us to do the cleaning job. Although they were so young, they were really mature.It was a great time for both of us. Time flies, we missed each other and we are looking forward to the next visit.
