| Featured Sponsor of the Month – SSIS Bear Sale Project At SSIS one of the main goals as a student is to act and be a future global leader. As a global citizen or leader, one must be engaged in global issues. Many children from China are born with congenital heart defects and born into families who cannot afford the fee to perform heart surgery. To help and participate in this global issue, several SSIS students collaborated with Heart to Heart to start a bear sale and collect money for some of the heart surgeries needed. Starting something new is never easy, especially during a pandemic situation. However, four grade eleven students, Lucas Xie, Lim Jing Rui, Yang Dong Heng Christopher, and Heo Eunseo, persevered and worked towards their goal with perseverance and dedication. They designed a unique hoodie for the heart bear and advertised the bear sale throughout the SSIS community. With the support of teachers,  these four students managed to fundraise a total of 50,190 RMB with over 200 donors participating. This significant amount of money will be used to conduct one heart surgery with almost enough money for a second one. It might just be a number on paper, but this number signifies that two children will get the gift of life. As members of a global community, it is our responsibility to help those in need. We sincerely thank everyone who participated and donated to this project. This was an incredibly meaningful project, and we look forward to future projects with Heart to Heart. Lucas Xie
Grade 11 Student from Shanghai Singapore International School 作为一名SSIS学生，最重要的目标就是成为全人发展的世界领导者，积极参与世界性活动。在中国，有许多孩子患有先天性心脏疾病，但又出生在无力承担心脏手术费用的家庭。为了帮助这些困境中的孩子，响应积极参与社会实践，几位SSIS学生与“心连心”合作，组织了小熊义卖为这些家庭筹集手术费。
尝试新事物从来都不是一件容易的事，尤其是在新冠疫情大流行艰难时期。然而，四位十一年级的学生，Lucas Xie，Lim Jing Rui，Yang Dong Heng Christopher和Heo Eunseo，坚持不懈，以毅力和奉献精神朝着他们的目标努力。他们为“心连心”小熊设计了一件独一无二的SSIS连帽衫，并在整个SSIS社区宣传此次义卖，在老师的支持下，得到了200多名捐赠者参加，共募集了50，190元人民币。 这笔可观的资金将被用于资助一次心脏手术，剩余的钱几乎足以资助第二次心脏手术。 这可能只是纸上的一个数字，但这个数字意味着两个孩子将获得新的生命。 作为全球公民，我们有责任帮助有需要的人。我们衷心感谢所有参与活动的各位善长仁翁。这是一个非常有意义的项目，我们期待着未来与“心连心”开展更多的项目。 解智天

at Yoda Hospital for the past 11 years. Our playroom days in Yoda Hospital, however, are over since the hospital will no longer do children’s heart surgeries. Instead, their surgeries will be performed at their new Yida Hospital in Qingpu. Thus, our playroom has moved there.
现在，我们在远大心胸医院的活动室时代已经完成了它的使命，因为医院将不再在那里进行儿童心脏手术。今后，此类手术将在位于青浦的医大医院新院区进行。因此，我们的活动室也已经搬到那里了。
sent a donation from book sales, Bibiana said “I know it’s a very small amount of money, but we give it with all our hearts, wishing it helps a kid who needs it.” Well, the book was definitely a hit with children who bought it and the donation that they gave Heart to Heart from the book’s profits (RMB 1,200) will be a life changer for the lucky child who has heart surgery as a result of their thoughtfulness.
光之城堡” 的公司，并通过该公司成为 “The Busy Bee 忙碌的蜜蜂 “一书的作者 —-该书在他们离开之前出版。 这是他们将写的7本书中的第一本。 当她发来捐款时，Bibiana说：”我知道这是一笔非常小的钱，但这代表着我们的所有的心意，希望它能帮助到需要它的孩子。” 好吧，这本书绝对受到了购买它的孩子们的欢迎，而从这本书得到的利润，给”心连心”的捐款（1200元人民币）将改变一位幸运的孩子的生活。这位孩子会因为他们的帮助而接受心脏手术。
with no funds to spare. Yida Hospital has agreed to continue the food card program that we had a Yoda Hospital. It’s a very popular program with the patients. We know that it will make our little patients and their relatives that made the trip to Shanghai with them very happy.
食品卡现在要花费200元，而不是180元。如果一切正常，患者家属是不会发现其中的区别的。价格便宜的优质食品仍然可以在医院食堂买到。这些家庭将在他们的医院食堂账户中获得200元人民币的信用额度，可以用来购买任何类型的食物。这应该可以让他们度过大部分的住院时间，但如有必要，我们可以再补充，这个计划还是很划算的。

The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to participate. It’s the perfect place to brush up on your skills against great challengers (or not so good ones). Sign up starts at 5pm with the games starting soon afterwards. And the best part of the games ….. donations go to Heart to Heart! They are now quite far down the path of sponsoring a BNC child for heart surgery. Come help the cause while you’re having a fun time!
I had a good start. Now, Mei is not only my best friend in China, but also my Chinese teacher! I don’t speak much Chinese though. Ask Mei, I’m not a talkative person. I prefer work more than talk!
