The students from Ai Yi Center also performed excellently in this competition. They not only actively participated in the exhibition but also received enthusiastic support from their parents. Although all exhibited works are the best in the eyes of teachers and parents, Ai Yi Center’s students won second and third prizes in both the young children's and older children's groups. Their works displayed a passion for art and a deep understanding of environmental themes.

New York State Senator Qu Yiwen expressed her delight at seeing so many children participate in such meaningful activities, emphasizing the importance of instilling a sense of protecting the Earth from an early age. The president of the Team Up, Li Jianghua, also noted that global warming brings various disasters, and he hopes that through art, children will know from a young age that "the Earth is our home."

ounder of Ai Yi Center (school) Ouyang Zongluan stated that next year, the teachers and students of Ai Yi Center will continue to strive for excellence in more fields and contribute to the community and the future of our planet.
