Prop Roots is an educational center in a small village at the Chinese-Myanmarese border. The staff provides local children with opportunities to map out their own life, and act on those insights with the means available to them, rather than give into temptations of the ubiquitous shadow economy in the area. The focus lies on empowerment of individual children through group projects and development of skills that correspond to their own interest and strengths. Nearly all children attending belong to the Jingpo ethnicity.
There’s always something going on at the Prop Roots Center. Such as when preparing for the Beijing Study Tour, back in summer 2015. Hunan TV’s director Zhu Jin © and her team followed closely and even followed the group to Beijing. The tour’s program was packed with lots eye-opening activities, supported by numerous capable volunteers. At the Tour’s opening day, the Prop Roots children held their own art exhibition and splashing dancing performances at a packed Soong Ching-ling’s Former Residence.
