Thanks to the Hope Project r， great changes have taken place in a country school，

　　This school used to be called Lijiazhuang School。 Most of its pupils left school because their families were too poor to pay for their education。 The only unsafe schoolhouse had to be used as classrooms。And all the teachers shared one room。 The playground was nothing but an open land。

　　Things are different now。 All the children who left school have come to continue their studies。 In the schoolyard stands a two-storeyed teaching building。 There are rooms for music， art and com-

　　puter teaching。 The school is well equipped with sports goods。

　　The Project benefits the school a great deal。 For this reason， it was renamed Hope School。

　　多虧希望工程的實施，一所鄉村學校發生了巨大的變化。

　　以前這學校叫做李家莊小學。由于家庭困難交不起學費，大部分學生輟學了。那座僅有的危房要用來做教室，所有的教師們共住一間。操場上除了空地什么也沒有。

　　現在情況可不同了乙輟學兒童都回校繼續學習。一座雙層的教學樓矗立在學校園內，有音樂室、美術室，還有教學用的電腦室。學校的體育器材配備精良。

　　希望工程給李家莊小學帶來了極大的好處，學校也因此改名為“希望小學”。
