Navy Donate to Western China's "Hope Project"
A donation of more than 11 million yuan was earlier made by officers and men of the Chinese navy and was sent on the last two days of the 20th century to poverty-stricken areas in Western China.
To help develop and improve local education in western China the Chinese Navy earlier started a drive to give love to and make donations in support of poverty-stricken areas in Western China with a boost to their development of "Hope Project".
All money donations by officers and men of the Chinese navy, as is told, will be spent on constructions of 45 Navy Hope Primary Schools in 44 poor counties in Western China.
| China's "Hope Project" is a public welfare project initiated and developed by China Youth Development Foundation from October 1989 which aims to help children of impoverished regions continue their study in primary schools and improve the education environment in there areas.
In the over ten years, 1.78 billion yuan donations have been used to construct more than 7000 Hope Primary Schools and helped more than 2 million children back to school. |
