內蒙古自治區位於我國北部邊疆，西北緊鄰蒙古和俄 羅斯。內蒙古自治區疆域遼闊，地跨"三北"中國東 北、西北、華北)地區，面積110萬平方公里；人口 2326萬；以蒙古族和漢族數量最多，此外，還有朝鮮 、回、滿、達斡爾、鄂溫克、鄂倫春等民族。全境以 高原為主，多數地區在海拔1000米以上，通稱內蒙古 高原。東部草原遼闊，西部沙漠廣布。草原面積居全 國前列。本區屬溫帶大陸性季風氣候；因地域遼闊， 各地差異較大；多數地區四季分明；夏短冬長，較為 乾冷。具有降水量少而不均、寒暑變化劇烈的顯著特 點。冬季漫長而寒冷，多數地區冷季長達五個月到半 年之久。Inner Mongolia is a Mongol autonomous region, located in the northern part of China; it borders Mongolia and Russia to the north. It has an area of 1.18 million kilometers, occupying 12% of China's land area.

內蒙古是一個蒙族（17%）與漢族（79%）的文化融 合體。近幾十年來，蒙族的文化漸漸的同化於佔大多 數漢族人口之影響下。可是，從政治上及人口分佈上 的考量，蒙族的語言及文化還是儘量的被保持著，來 維持這個地區的特色。法律規定，所有的街道及商業 標誌，以及政府文件，必要是蒙漢雙語。可是新生一 代的年輕蒙族，都會說一口流利的普通話。蒙語己慢 慢的局限於偏僻地區的使用了。 Inner Mongolia is a cultural hybrid between Mongol (17%) and Han Chinese (79%). Although in recent decades Mongol elements were slowly degraded by the majority Han Chinese population influences, for both political and demographic purposes, Mongol language and culture has been maintained to provide for a unique identity to the area. The Han Chinese of Inner Mongolia speak a variety of dialects, depending on the region. Mongols in Inner Mongolia speak a variety of dialects of the Mongolian language. By law, all street signs, commercial outlets, and government documents must be bilingual, displaying both Mongolian and Chinese. A recent trend has also taken place with public transportation, where all announcements are also bilingual. Many ethnic Mongols, especially those from the newest generation, speak fluent Chinese, since Mongolian is beginning to recede from everyday use in urban areas. Ethnic Mongols in rural areas, however, have kept their traditions. Farming of crops such as wheat takes precedence along the river valleys. In the more arid grasslands, herding of goats, sheep, and so on is a traditional method of subsistence. The vast grasslands have always been symbolic of Inner Mongolia. Mongolian art often depicts the grassland in an uplifting fashion, emphasizing the nomadic traditions of the Mongol people.

欣欣在內蒙古於1999-2004共興建六所小學。最北的一 所在鄂倫春旗，靠近大興安嶺,也是所有欣欣小學中 ，最北的一所. 他們與欣欣的聯繫，除了電話與平常 郵件外，其他（如傳真等）都必須去鄰近黑龍江省的 市集。另一所在東部赤峰市（東蒙）所屬的翁牛特旗 。其他四所均分佈於內蒙古狹長的中間部分，其中一 所烏拉特前旗欣欣希望小學，是專為蒙族子弟而設。 自2004年來，所有六所小學均已自欣欣獲得電腦設備 ，及圖書計劃之圖書捐贈（一人一書）。鄂爾多斯市 杭錦旗的欣欣小學於2006及2007年也選派兩位老師遠 去湖南參加英語師資培訓。其他獎學金以及後續基金 捐助的教學設備等等，都使這些偏遠的蒙漢孩子們感 受到遙遠欣欣捐贈者的愛心。 There are six Shin Shin schools in Inner Mongolia, which were built from 1999 to 2004. One school in Wulateqianqi is established for Mongol children only. Since 2004, all six schools received computer equipment from Shin Shin and participated in the book club. Two teachers from Hangjinqi also traveled far to Hunan to be part of the English Teachers Training Program. Other follow-up support and scholarships also benefited the children in this remote region.
