Dong Fen travelled from her small hometown in Yunnan Province to Beijing to find employment as a migrant worker, to support her family back home. While working as a beautician, she discovered Hua Dan's empowerment workshops.

"Hua Dan allowed me to see a world beyond that of a beautician, to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and to define my life’s goals," she says.

Dong Fen has since risen to become Hua Dan's General Manager. Read her full story, and others like hers, on our Impacts page.

Zhong Na, Hua Dan Facilitator

Zhong Na came to Beijing when she was 21 and worked as a housekeeper and waitress. She had always dreamed of being a teacher, but her limited education made her feel that this would never be possible.

"The day when I saw Hua Dan on the CCTV programme 'Women Hold Up Half the Sky' changed my life," says Zhong Na. "I started to attend Hua Dan workshops and began to uncover my hidden talents and abilities."

Zhong Na is now a fully-trained facilitator in Hua Dan's Children's Education Programme, and has taken the lead in expanding the programme to local schools in her hometown in Shandong. Read her full story, and others like hers, on our Impacts page.

Jinqiang began attending Hua Dan workshops while a third-grade student at a migrant school, and found them to be such a rewarding experience, he carried on participating until he graduated from high school.

"Before Hua Dan, I didn’t know that it was possible to learn through participatory theatre methods," he says. He impressed Hua Dan so much with his abilities, he was given the opportunity to become a full-time facilitator.
