The volunteer team Team leader Xu Jinsheng said that volunteers crocheted the colorful fur hats by themselves. Some beginners took 8 hours to complete one. Every stitch and thread represents the care of the volunteers.

Xiaoyu, a student at the hospital, said that Aunt Yueyun, a volunteer, found that the reason she often did not bring a water bottle was that the wheelchair did not have a proper place to put it. The next day, she gave her a beautiful water bottle bag woven by herself, which surprised and delighted her. , the fur hat knitted this time was recommended to the volunteer leader on her own initiative.

Xu Jinsheng, who retired from running a lo mei shop, became a volunteer in the correctional institution, hoping to give back to the society with his spare energy. He said that at first, he only felt that disadvantaged children with disabilities needed more care than others. The journey is long, and he travels between the Three Gorges Day Care Center and Balijian. Seeing the students grow up happily is his greatest joy.

Xie Xinmin, the dean of the Bali Love Labor Camp, thanked the volunteers for their dedication. He understood the importance of keeping warm in the mountains in winter. The fur hats he woven by himself made every student warm in winter.
