Episode Summary
On this episode the Empathy to Impact Podcast visits Beijing and I talk to Qinglan, a senior at Beijing City International School. Qinglan is from Beijing, but spent most of her time growing up overseas before returning to her home in the middle of grade 11. As a high school student, she has been involved in a number of projects that stem from her passion for sustainability and the environment. We will be talking about her projects Clean Up, Mask Up and, quite randomly, a bit about flags. Qinglan has also shown entrepreneurial skills by turning Mask Up into a business with the proceeds supporting a local charity, Roundabout. You can find out more about Roundabout and how you might support this fantastic charity in the show notes below. What opportunities are there in your community to follow your passions and engage in community service?
