Dear all,

 

香港大学的建筑系在中国的旧建筑保育工作已有多年的成绩及贡献。很荣幸中华文教在这些项目里有参与: 琴模绿色小学，琴模旧校文教中心。在这里我们历经4次的夏令营，寒假支教，无数的欢乐聚会。这里是文教在怀集的第一个家。

让我们永远爱护她！

Lucy

Rural Education

The Guangdong Province in South China is considered one of the rich provinces in the country.

However, like in all other regions, the economic growth is based in the urban centres along

the coast. From the hinterland the unskilled labour force moved already 30 years ago to the

coastal regions and send back a part of their income to keep the family, consisting of the

elderly and the children, going. This relationship between urban and rural life causes many

social and economic problems. The young and clever leave as soon as they can, to take jobs

in the bustling new towns. Farming becomes more and more a secondary activity and the villagers

depend on the income of their migrated parents, children or relatives. Such an development is

not at all sustainable and increases the difference between countryside and city.

 

 

琴模校舍的蛻變 – 文教扶貧中心的誕生

 

 

琴模小学建于1948年，是一所一直以來提供琴模村的400多名小孩上学的老学校。这间学校的古老建筑风格带着很纯朴的乡村风味。可惜年久失修，現在已经不能再提供给孩子们一個安全上课的场所了。眼看老建筑物一天比一天残破，文教创办人布太非常惋惜。她开始萌一個念头: 如果把它修建成为文教的扶贫中心同時又是村的文化中心，這難道不是一個很美好的想法吗？於是在教育局及村民的全力支持和协助下，一所嶄新的文教扶貧中心誕生了。更难得的是香港大学建筑系 林教授 和 Joshua Bolchover两位教授無私的幫助，发挥了他们優秀的设计才能，同心協力的把这所老学校修建成一個令人驕傲旳示範中心。
