A somewhat biased view on China…
Couleurs de Chine, already mentioned in a previous post, is arranging sponsorships for children of ethnic minorities, mainly girls, from the Great Miao Mountains (in the North of Guangxi province and South-East of Guizhou province) In 2006, 3930 children have been able to start school or continue their studies thanks to the sponsors who have agreed to help them throughout their school careers.
In addition, Couleurs de Chine ensures the building and the rehabilitation of schools and dormitories. The association also tries to help the village in case of emergency. And such a case of emergency occurred last Monday when the village of Gulou near Danian burnt in just a few hours, leaving 170 families or 1050 people helpless without houses. The government will ensure the food supply but they will need other financial help in order to rebuild the village.
If you want to help them you may contact Couleurs de Chine by sending an email to cdcbeijing@yahoo.com.
