About The Dandelion Project

The Dandelion Project is a service learning trip that was started by Margie Harvey in 2005, after travelling to China with Primary Source. She created this program to begin a cultural exchange between the students of Winchester High School located in Winchester, MA and the Dandelion School located in the fourth ring of Beijing, China. The Dandelion School addresses the need in China for education for the children of migrant workers. Due to the Household Registration Policy of the Chinese Government, these children do not have access to free public education. Winchester High School students prepare English language lessons and teach at the Dandelion School for one week, while experiencing Chinese culture and making friends with the Dandelion students. Winchester students also travel to many of the historical attractions in Beijing. This year we will also travel to Shanghai.

Updates from Winchester Students: Tim DeRedon

We have been in China for about 3 days and from what I can see it's pretty crazy. The traffic and drivers here are much worse than those in New York. If you hit someone you don't really get in trouble and everyone loves using their horn. The rules of the road are much different and you can pull U-turns on the highway and go the wrong direction on the roads. Overall, it's been interesting to see the differences between China and America and I look forward to the rest of the trip!
