My work brings a great sense of achievement

I was a part-time village worker for the program for about two years. I served 26 children in Dade, a poor village where members of the Yi ethnic group account for nearly 80 percent of the population.

When Save the Children and the local government chose Dade as a pilot village in 2015, I immediately applied for a job because I truly thought the work would help the next generation.

Initially, I was the only village worker in Dade, and had to visit 18 children in seven areas unconnected by roads.
