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。

　　多亏希望工程的实施，一所乡村学校发生了巨大的变化。

　　以前这学校叫做李家庄小学。由于家庭困难交不起学费，大部分学生辍学了。那座仅有的危房要用来做教室，所有的教师们共住一间。操场上除了空地什么也没有。

　　现在情况可不同了乙辍学儿童都回校继续学习。一座双层的教学楼矗立在学校园内，有音乐室、美术室，还有教学用的电脑室。学校的体育器材配备精良。

　　希望工程给李家庄小学带来了极大的好处，学校也因此改名为“希望小学”。
