After a two-hour visit to the park, the teachers and students came to the Panda Science Classroom and attended a short but grand donation ceremony.
During the ceremony, the host invited Ms. Jennie Dalamagas, Vice-President of Strathfield Girls High School, to speak. Ms. Dalamagas said that during her visit she and her students saw many lovely giant pandas and learned a lot about the life habits of giant pandas. On behalf of her school,shecontributed to the conservation of giant pandas.
Ms. Dalamagas gave a donation of RMB1,000 to support the panda "Doudou".
Later, the foundation representatives expressed their sincere thanks to the teachers and students, issued a donation certificate to Ms. Dalamagas, and explained to the teachers and students how to inquire about the donation and how it will be used.At the same time, we also gave the teachers and students two panda science books, copies of the "Giant panda" magazine and a story about the "Wu Yi" legend of the giant panda "miracle of life" DVD. We hope everybody could share their knowledge about the giant panda to more people abroad.
After the ceremony,our teachers usedpictures, videos and models to vividly explain the breeding and growth of the giant pandas, the structure of the skull and paws, the current population and the conservation status.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Strathfield Girls High School again for their great support for the conservation of giant pandas and other endangered wildlife!
