On October 18th, 20 volunteers from Ingredion led activities for 20 You Dao scholarship children at the Chocolate theme park. Chocolate Happy Paradise is located at the Shanghai Expo Park in Pudong, and is the first of its kind in China. It allowed the children to visit a fun theme park and to let them see the downtown part of Shanghai they have never experienced. The eager children left early for the park on the cool autumn morning. They met with their volunteers and were immediately split into groups with one volunteer and eight children. The organizers quickly explained the plan for the day, including a scavenger hunt and prizes that lay ahead. All of the children were very excited and ready to get started. Due to the early start, the group was able to enter the park before many tourists arrived, which gave the children free reign of the park. They were able to see all of the sites they wanted to, collect all the information they needed to for their game, and did not have to deal with big crowds. The volunteers led their groups through the different areas, all while trying to capture the special moments on Wechat and other micro blogs. At exactly 3pm, the organizers blew the whistle, calling all the teams back to the main meeting area. Not a single team was late. The organizers added up the game scorecards and determined all of the children would get prizes. The volunteers did a great job accompanying the children on a wonderful day at a unique park. One of the children courageously took a cucumber out of her bag and presented it to a volunteer as a present. She said, “This was grown by my mother, and I want to give it to the volunteer aunties and uncles who let me play today, thank you for all your hard work.” The volunteers were very moved and split the cucumber to share it. They were touched by the appreciation from the children and their parents. It was difficult for the volunteers to say goodbye to the children and left for a touching scene as the volunteers waved goodbye to the children as they left on their bus.
