During the recent National Week break, 18 student members of the Deans’ Service Corps (DSC) and two staff members traveled to Zhoukou, Henan province, to spend five days helping children and families in rural villages that have been impacted by HIV and AIDS. (Photo provided by Chi Heng Foundation) The trip was organized in partnership with the Chi Heng Foundation, an NGO that supports education and living expenses for children whose families have been deprived of health and income by HIV and AIDS.

Many HIV/AIDS-affected families live in extreme poverty and rely on subsistence farming.

For many NYU Shanghai students, it was their first exposure to the difficulty of farm work.
