| "After RCEF came to our school, I felt happier and more confident to really try things. Before when I had ideas, I would usually stay quiet because I was afraid no one would understand. Now I have RCEF to talk to and discuss things with and it feels really good." – Sun Huimiao, Fourth Grade Teacher, Guan Ai Primary School, Shanxi Province |
| "When I’m older, I would also like to become a volunteer and teach at a rural school. The volunteers showed me the outside world and passed on their knowledge to us; I would also like to pass on my knowledge to other children in rural areas." - 6th grade student, Dayang Primary School, Henan Province |
| "After the summer camp, my relationships with my friends got stronger. Through all the group activities,, I became closer with my classmates and started to understand them better. I now know that two are better than one." - Summer Camp student, Dayang Primary School, Henan Province |
| "The reason I joined RCEF is that I believe everybody deserves a chance." - Xuejing Chen, interviewed in World Journal Magazine 2006 |
