My name is Feng Guixiang. I want to tell you about the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) and how it helped me change my life.
One of the CCTF's special activities is the Spring Bud Project. Back
in
1989, millions of children aged 7 to 1
4 in China couldn't attend school. Eighty-three per cent of them were girls, and their families were very poor—they simply couldn't
afford
（afford）their education. Because of this big problem, the CCTF launched the Spring Bud Project to give these girls a chance
to learn
（learn）. Since then, the project
has helped
（help）millions of girls go back to school and even built many new schools in poor areas.
The first "Spring Bud Class"
started
（start）in Guangxi in 19
89. I was
lucky
（luck）enough to join it—the project paid for all my school fees and even rented a small room near the school for me. It brought many
benefits
（benefit）to my life: I no longer had to stay at home all day,
and
I got to make friends with other girls in class.
Before
the
project, I stayed at home every day to help my mother with housework like washing clothes and cooking. Going to school really changed my life. I learnt to read interesting stories, write letters to my family, and do simple Maths problems.
Now I work as a teacher at a Spring Bud school in Guangxi. I wish
to carry
（carry）on the project's love and help other girls just like it helped me. I hope more girls can have the chance to go to school and chase their dreams.
