The little eight year-old boy enjoying writing

With the permission of Mr. Liu, my chinese calligraphy teacher, I snapped some photos of the class and my friendly classmates who are mostly primary school students. Right now, most of the students are busy writting spring festival couplets for Chinese New Year. These couplets will be sold as charity fund for the Bachang St John’s Dialysis Center in Melaka.

According to Mr. Liu, Bachang St John’s Dailysis Center has about 100 patients. Each treatment is charged RM10 which is relatively cheap. By doing so, the center has to bare thousands of ringgit for the operation each year and thus, donation is collected to maintain the cost.

These young artists of the class (mostly primary school students) are doing their very best to write in order to help the dialysis patients. Every piece of the writings will be sold for charity and the fund collected is 100 percent donated to the  Bachang St John’s Dialysis Center.

福 (Fu - which means luck and prosperity) written by a 10 year-old boy

Many of my classmates are very good artists with kind and warm hearted especially the 8 year-old boy I posted above. He was the boy who started talking to me first before others and also asked for my facebook account. I will write more about my classmates and Chinese calligraphy and share some photos in a Chinese post very soon.

If you have children or friends studying in any primary school of Melaka, you might have a chance to see the organising team dropping by and selling these couplets for charity. According to my teacher, there are 7,000 couplets (written by the chinese calligraphers including elders and young students) sold as to date for this Chinese New Year.
