各位家长、各位来宾、小朋友们：

首先，我代表团省委、省少工委对参加这次活动的同学们表示热烈的欢迎和衷心的祝贺。 Dear Guests, Parents and Little Friends,

First of all, I would like to express my whole-hearted congratulations on and warmly welcome to all the campers on behalf of the Youth League and the Juvenile Working Committee of Yunnan Province.

为贯彻共青团中央、全国少工委在少先队组织中学习十六大精神，教育引导广大少年儿童为实现十六大提出的全面建设小康社会宏伟目标做好全面发展的要求。根据 2003 年全国少工委的工作安排，围绕“实现宏伟蓝图，做好全面准备”这一主题，省少工委与云南生态网络等有关部门一起，组织开幕地区一批优秀学生，利用寒假时间，到丽江地区进行“手拉手”体验生活，、民族文化寻访、湿地现场观鸟以及野外素质训练等活动。目的在于启迪孩子们关注同龄农村贫困孩子的社会意识，培养孩子们热爱大自然，保护环境的生态意识，锻炼孩子们的体魄，采用寓教于乐的方式，深化少先队“手拉手”活动，逐步使可持续发展的远大抱负和理想。把他们培养成为家庭里的好孩子、学校中的好学生、社会上的好少年、大自然的好朋友，培养成为对祖国、对社会、对他人有责任感和使命感的未来好公民。

In order to meet the requirement of the 16th National Conference of CPC, and the grand aim to build up a well-off society all over China, according to the working plan of National Juvenile Working Committee, with the theme of “Realizing the Blueprint, and get ready for the future”, a group of good students from Kunming, organized by Yunnan EcoNework, the Juvenile Working Committee of Yunnan Province as well as other relevant organizations, will enjoy the “hand-in-hand” program together with those of in the city of Lijiang during the winter holiday, which includes search for the minority cultures, bird watching on the site of Wet Land and the outdoor physical excises as well. All these activities will be helpful for the children to be conscious of those with the same age who live in the poverty-stricken rural areas, and aware of the nature and ecology. At the same time, it will build up their will both physically and mentally, and they will be influenced by the concept of Sustainable Development as time goes by. Through these activities, they will be trained as good children at home, good students at school, good juvenile in the society, good friends to the nature and good citizens with highly responsibilities in future.

让孩子们在课余之外关注生活、走进生活，学习生活是全社会普遍关注的大事，是少先队组织提高体验教育这一途径，实施素质教育方针的重要手段，也是促进少年儿童培养高尚品质，养成良好的有效手段，省少工委历来把素质教育放在工作的首位，在素质教育实施方面也取得了许多成功的经验。这次活动将一体验为基本形式，组织和引导少年儿童在亲身实践中，把做人做事的基本道理内化为健康的心理品格，转化为联合的希望习惯。将从人与人、人与社会，人与自然、人与自我等多个方面，让孩子们以自己的身份和视角、以他人的身份和视角进入设定的事件和情景中去体验，达到使教育内容触动心灵，进入内心，最终化为实际行动的目的，为他们养成良好的行为习惯奠定基础。

It is our aim that the children will be trained to be aware of real life outside the class, and this is one of the priorities we are facing today. It is the important means for the organization of juveniles to carry out the policy of quality education and learn through experiences, it proves as an effective way for the children to develop their high quality and form the good habits as well. The quality education is always put in the first place in its work. The Juvenile Working Committee of Yunnan Province has obtained lots of successful experience in this field. As a basic idea of this program, Feeling and thinking is carried out in the activities. It will help children develop a healthy character, and turn it into good behave in the future. This is a kind of human socialized process from ethical perceives and emotional sublimation to ethical practice. The children will get experiences with their own view and others' position from many aspects, such as Man and Man, Man and Society, Man and Nature, Man and Self-hood, with the purpose to touch their souls by education and turn them into practice in the end. This will lay a foundation for them to develop their good habits in the future.

冬令营这样的活动是体验教育良好的载体，有利于培养学生的集体观念、协作能力和社会适应能力，有利于锻炼学生的身体素质和心理素质，有利于发展学生的个性、培养学生的特长，从而促进少年儿童全面健康成长。我很欣慰地看各位家长和社会各界都意识到了这一点，积极地参与到其中来了。在此，我代表省少工委对家长们的理解，社会各界的支持和帮助表示感谢。

The activity of Winter camping is a kind of good carrier for awareness of education through one's experience, At the same time, it is beneficial for the children to develop their ability of coordination, social existence as well as their team concept, and it is beneficial to develop their qualities both mentally and physically. It is a good way to develop their personalities and their strong suits, just to ensure them to follow a healthy way of life. I am happy that parents and people of different circles have realized the importance of Quality Education, and to take part in this program positively. On behalf of Yunnan Provincial Juvenile Working Committee, I would like to express my thanks to parents for your understanding, to people of different circles for your support and help.

如果把人生比做四季，中小学阶段就可以说正处于人生的春天，春天是一年的开始，春天是人生的发端，要想让孩子有应该美丽的人生，一定要让孩子们过一个美丽春天。让我们共同努力，为孩子们增添几许美好的春色吧！

If we take life as four seasons in a year, the life of children in the stage between primary and middle school can be regarded as spring, which symbols the start of life. A good beginning will give children a beautiful life in return. Let's make a joint effort for the realization of this goal.

最后，再一次感谢英国环境发展基金、云南生态网络项目对这次活动给予地大力支持，感谢新闻媒体的各位朋友。

At last, my great thanks to British Environment Development Funds for the financial support, to Yunnan EcoNetwork for the great efforts made to the Winter-camping program as well as to friends from the news media.
