习近平寄语希望工程：把希望工程这项事业办得更好

今年是希望工程实施30周年，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平近日寄语希望工程。

Over the past 30 years, Project Hope has helped millions of young people from poor families realize their dream of going to school and grow into pillars of society on all fronts, Xi said, speaking highly of the program's important role in assisting poverty relief, boosting education, helping youth growth and forming social ethos.
他指出，希望工程实施30年来，帮助数以百万计的贫困家庭青少年圆了上学梦、成长为奋斗在祖国建设各条战线上的栋梁之材。希望工程在助力脱贫攻坚、促进教育发展、服务青少年成长、引领社会风尚等方面发挥了重要作用。

Stressing that the nation and the people's future hinges on the youth's healthy growth, Xi required the Chinese Communist Youth League (CCYL) organizations to better promote the program and offer more assistance to the young generation in the new era.
习近平强调，让青少年健康成长，是国家和民族的未来所系。进入新时代，共青团要把希望工程这项事业办得更好，努力为青少年提供新助力、播种新希望。

The whole Party and society should continue to pay attention to and support Project Hope so that the young people can fully feel the care of the Party and the warmth of the big socialist family, and be well-prepared to join the socialist cause, Xi noted.
全党全社会要继续关注和支持希望工程，让广大青少年都能充分感受到党的关怀和社会主义大家庭的温暖，努力成长为社会主义建设者和接班人。
