The story between BMH and Chawalong Central Primary School in Chayu County, Tibet, originated in 2021, thanks to the introduction of Ms. Xiong Bo, the first secretary of our school......
The Beginning of the Story
“Help” from thousands of miles
Chawalong Central Primary School is located in Chayu County, Nyingchi City, Tibet. It is a designated assistance area of Longhua District Education Bureau. Chawalong is located in a remote location, surrounded by mountains and inconvenient transportation. Some villages are more than 120 kilometers away from the school, so that students can not go home on weekends. Among the existing students, there are 7 first and second level disabled students who need educational support to be sent to their homes. In addition, the family income is limited, these children suffer from pain all year round.
When "BMH PTA" got aware of the various plights of the students in Chawalong Central Primary School, then decided to utilize part of the income from the "Christmas Fair" in 2021 to total 15,000 RMB to help those families who are in urgent needs. PTA made caring donation to the disabled students and some students with family difficulties.

After receiving the donation, the Party branch of Chawalong Central Primary School visited the disabled and needy families as soon as possible to gain an in-depth understanding of the difficulties and specific needs of each family. Subsequently, a batch of daily necessities, school supplies, diapers and cochlear batteries for disabled children were purchased and delivered to the students' homes.

April 30th is the national Tibetan calligraphy day. Chawalong Central Primary School will celebrate their “First Tibetan Language and Art Festival”. In order to strengthen the support for school, help BMH students to understand the multiculturalism of their home country and enable Tibetan students to see different areas and cultures, Ms. Xiong discussed the possibility of combined online lessons of two schools with the Headmaster Danzengchilie in Chawalong. Owing to the active work of the party branch and headmaster of two schools, the online session of two schools across 3 grades was anticipated to hold at 10:10am April 29th.
The first speaker is the BMH party branch first secretary Ms. Xiong. She evaluated the background culture of well（Chinese character“井”）.The lesson was divided into 5 parts: the origin and status quo of井; 井and Chinese female; 井 and Chinese architecture; 井and hometown; 井and me. This education taught students not only the profound effects of 井culture to Chinese culture, but also taught them to be an orderly, logical and well-organised person, having good daily habits of making plans like 井.
The Headmaster Danzengchilie introduced Tibetan calligraphy to students in his class. The third grade students in Chawalong Central Primary School wore beautiful Tibetan costumes and sit in front of tables. They used self-made stationery to write Tibetan calligraphy. BMH students were very curious about the magical Tibetan language. They asked various questions: How to write 井in Tibetan language? How to write “wish you all the best” in Tibetan language? The shape of Tibetan language is so special! I want to learn Tibetan language…… After seeing the interaction among students in two schools, the Headmaster Danzengchilie stated he would like to give BMH students “the four stationery treasures of the Chinese study” as a gift.
Finally, BMH Executive Headmaster Dr Wall introduced UK to everyone. He asked students to look for UK, China and Chinese Tibetan on map. Tibetan students understood different nations and cultures via the introduction of the history, scientists, and famous schools in UK.
"Service" is a core value of BMH.We are fully committed to a culture of service both within and outside our school community and will act to make a positive difference for those in need.
The interaction activity between two schools enabled students in two schools to see a different world and understand different cultures. We believed that the online meeting of BMH and Chawalong will be the most beautiful memory and our connection will constantly continue.
