On January 4, 2018, a “Smile” social welfare, a start-up themed event is initiated by Associate Professor Zhong Wang and three foreign students of ITCIE (International Training Camp for Entrepreneurship) of Business School, Hunan University. At the end of 2017, culture shock, language barriers and other issues did not stop three foreign students from opening “100 Yuan English Oral Lessons by Foreign Teacher” social welfare events.

UYANGATUUL Sainkhuu（国籍：蒙古）：I am so inspired to help disabled children whoarecoming to live in the world as unfair fate. We don’t earn much ofwhat we expected before. But we tried our best and carried out the whole project. Finally, we could see the result with donation reaching our goal.

Nissankara Rajasekhar（国籍：印度）：The most thing that inspired me a lot is discouragement from the people--for example, when we go and explain about our project,they will say nice. However, when we ask for help, they will say no and show us rules and policies that may lead us to take this project hardly. So I want to show them by action, not by words. Finally, wedid it.

Kintana PHIMMAVONG(中文名：金佩珊，老挝)：I never imagined that I can do some charity in a foreign country by our own, but it turned out we had a great team, and we received lots of supports from others as well. What we can offer is not much, but we feel fulfillment and satisfied when we received the gratitude from the staffs of Warfare House and we saw smiles of the children. I think this project gives me power to keep what I am doing.
