On April 9th, 2006, staffs of Beijing Earth Village, volunteers of Program "Green Choice" and Columbia University Graduate Association went to Dandelion Middle School in Beijing to organize a non-profit activity. The purpose of activity is to educate the students to protect our environment.

In the morning, staffs of Beijing Earth Village and volunteers of Program "Green Choice" planted trees with the students and the teachers. Volunteers of Columbia University Graduate Association painted walls for the school.

In the afternoon, staffs and volunteers organized some activities and classes for the students. There were three parts: environmental education, lab of making paper, and games. Students went to different section by groups. A staff of Beijing Earth Village, Li Li, gave classes about relationship between water, energy, and trash, and organized discussion between students. During the lab of making paper, students used waste papers to make recycle paper and had a lot of fun. There were some quizzes for students about waster paper and plastic bags after the lab. Students did very well on the quizzes. That illustrated they had learned useful knowledge from the activity.

The activity ended about 4:00pm. Through all the students, teachers, and volunteers' hard work, the yard of Dandelion Middle School became cleaner and prettier.
