An Zhu: Travel Can Change The World
November 11th, 2009 | Published in Speakers
An Zhu is a travel lover who has been through most of China’s southwestern provinces. In 2004, having seen many rural schools, he founded 1KG More to encourage everyone to help these schools with their travel. The concept is simple, 1KG more encourages travelers to bring 1 kg of books or supplies to schools on their travels. To date 1KG more has helped more than 700 rural schools. An Zhu believes in “participatory democracy”, and adds that charity should not be by a small number of experts or beholden to great philanthropists; the world’s progress must be driven by the countless ordinary people.
安猪是一个旅行爱好者，足迹遍及中国西南大部分省份。2004年，由于旅行中乡村学校的见闻，安猪创办了多背一公斤，鼓励每个人通过旅行将帮助带给乡村学校。目前，多背一公斤网站（1KG.org）上有超过700个乡村学校，这些学校都由普通的旅游者的旅行途中发现并提供持续的服务。安猪信仰“参与的民主“，他相信慈善不应由少数专家或大慈善家把持，世界的进步必定是由无数普通人推动的。
