《海外游子爱心演唱会》将在耶鲁华人社区举办
序：
经过这一段时间的努力，我们决定在康州纽黑文耶鲁大学校园区举办一场《海外游子爱心演唱会》，来为云南楚雄师院附中的贫困学生募捐筹款，这个倡议得到了康州华人社区的支持，得到了耶鲁音乐学院青年钢琴家刘健，长笛演奏家王明珠，大提琴演奏家翟慧莉等华人音乐家们的支持与加盟演出，得到了耶鲁医学院研究员男高音杨伏尘的大力支持与加盟演出， 得到了耶鲁华人合唱团，彩蝶舞蹈艺术团，耶鲁中国学生学者联谊会，康州华社理事，耶鲁/纽黑文社区中文学校，程爱萍武术大师，Neighborhood Music School, 以及居住在纽约的男低音歌唱家何孝庆先生的支持，他将特地从纽约赶来献唱。所有参演者及组织者都是尽义务，尽爱心。所有筹集的款项都将寄往云南楚雄师院附中教育基金会，专款专用，将由边城秀才和欧琳老师负责监督。
今天，Trinity Lutheran Church的牧师决定以优惠价租金借给我们演出礼堂，来支持我们这一慈善活动！
正如歌曲《爱的奉献》歌词中唱到的那样“只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间！ ”，我期待着有更多的艺术家和音乐家，社团组织，赞助商参与进来，伸出你的手，伸出他的手，让我们心连心，手牵手，来帮助那些需要帮助的品学兼优、家境贫困的孩子们！
让我们相聚在五月的鲜花里，五月的春风里。。。

《海外游子爱心演唱会》宣传介绍材料：
楚雄师院附中是一所州属中学，位于云南省楚雄市鹿城镇。该校有高中、初中两个部，共34个教学班，教职工141人，在校生学生1766人，学生多为汉族和彝族。
由于楚雄是一个边远贫困的彝族自治州，楚雄师院附中每年有一百多个贫困学生需要在社会各界的帮助才能完成学业，这些贫困学生多数来自全州边远山区，学校每年的学费/生活费共为4000人民币，这对家庭年收入不到2000元人民币的农民来说是一个沉重的负担，因而常有一部分品学兼优的贫困学生因经济原因而辍学。
读书求学几乎是这些贫困学生改变他们命运的唯一途径，而辍学则会使他们丧失前途。看到这些品学兼优的贫困学生因为经济原因而辍学，我们感到十分心痛。因此，我们决定举办《海外游子爱心演唱会》，将演出收入全数捐献给楚雄师院附中的贫困学生，以此支持他们继续求学。
当然，我们也知道，个人的力量是有限的，我们不可能帮助所有那些需要帮助的人，但是，若是我们能够力所能及地去帮助他人，哪怕只是帮助了一个人，而那个人的命运因为我们的帮助而改变，甚至也因此改变了他们子孙后代的命运，这就是一件非常有意义且值得我们去做的事情。所以，我们由衷地希望能得到大家的支持。谢谢！

下面是英文介绍材料：
《The Love&Care Concert of Overseas Chinese Performers》
In environmentally blighted China, the Province of Yunnan is the only remaining green-belt of the country. Between China and Burma, it is the area whose nature is covered by jade-green mountains but whose people are plagued by poverty. All over the province, remote and reclusive locales are populated by various ethnic minorities that are aboriginal, primitive, and destitute. The City of ChuXiong (pronounced ChuShoong) is just such one locus in this indigent area.
A mid-sized town with a population of 2.6 million, ChuXiong is almost a forgotten place in China’s massive economic build-up. In this town, the current per-capita income is 2,000 Chinese Yuan, but the average annual cost per middle/high-school student is 4,000. Families are facing the dilemma of squeezing their already meager life and suffering an unthinkable hardship so that their children can have the minimal education, or not sending their kids to school at all and letting them stay in perpetuating poverty.
ChuXiong Normal College High is a local institute that provides middle and high schools to youngsters of both Han and ethnic Yi people. 1766 students are taught by 141 faculty members in 34 classrooms. However, each year 10% of those students are on the verge of dropping out of school unless additional societal resources are found supporting them financially to finish their middle school or high school diplomas.
ChuXiong people are undoubtedly in lack of resources necessary for their schools; however, they are certainly not in lack of will power to fight their way out of poverty. Local officials, school teachers and students are all on their endeavor to make education their number one priority for young generation and generations to come. Yet, help is much needed.
For the purpose of helping those financially struggling students, “The Love&Care Concert of Overseas Chinese Performers” is organized, with the ticket proceeds and pledges all devoted to the needy students studying at ChuXiong Normal College High. Certainly, being aware of the limitation of what we can do in one evening, we fully realize that contribution in this very evening will be far from what the needs call upon our conscience. While we can not help every needy student, every bit of help will find its way to the solution of ChuXiong poverty.
Contributing to ticket proceeds, pledging sponsorship, or helping in any other ways will change the fate of those desperate students and the fate of future generations in that poor area. Together, we are so proud on this benevolent and noble cause and on behalf of ChuXiong Students, we are deeply appreciative of your donations.
Thank you and enjoy the show.
