Guan Xin Jay, a Malaysian student at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), also enjoyed her experience while volunteering at a seniors' activity center. There, some of the seniors taught her and the other volunteers how to make papercuts. The volunteers cut the Chinese character "xiao" (孝), which means "filial piety."

Says Guan: "I am in the second year of my undergraduate studies at BFSU. Before this summer vacation began, I decided I would not return to Malaysia, but I would spend my vacation in China, doing something meaningful. I was glad to work with the team. We have visited some communities in Sanlitun. During our volunteer activities, I have obtained opportunities to know more about social governance in China's communities. In the past, I saw more of the tourist attractions in China. But now, I am learning what ordinary Chinese do in their daily lives.

"In November, our team organized a themed activity on environmental protection. About 20 children, and their parents, joined, and used recycled clothes to make bags. I helped plan the activity for the community of Sanlitun. I'm so proud of it!"
