N China Launches People's Armed Police Spring Bud Fund
A launch ceremony for the People's Armed Police Spring Bud Scholarship Fund was held in Selenhot, a city located in Xilin Gol League of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on December 13, 2013.
The fund will support 100 poverty-stricken female senior high school students and provide each of them with 1,200 yuan (US$ 197.6) in scholarship funds every year for three consecutive years. The total donation amount will be 360,000 yuan (US$ 59,292).
The ceremony was hosted by the Inner Mongolia Women's Federation, Ximeng Women's Federation and Ximeng Armed Police Detachment.
More than 200 armed police officers, teachers, students and officials attended the ceremony.
Student representatives were presented with scholarship funds at the ceremony and each promised to work hard to make contributions to society in the future.
Yun Cuirong, vice president of Inner Mongolia Women's Federation, spoke highly of the police detachment's commitment to charity work. She said that the fund will raise people's awareness of charity efforts and play a positive role in improving the survival and development of female children in vulnerable positions.
She said that she hopes more organizations and people will participate in charity efforts to help provide a healthy growth environment for children and to promote social harmony.
Since the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation launched the Spring Bud Project in 1989, the People's Armed Police forces of all levels have organized numerous donation drives across China.
By June this year, the People's Armed Police Force had organized four donation drives and raised over 27.8 million yuan (US$ 4.5 million) for the project. The money has been used to build 13 People's Armed Police Force Spring Bud Hope Schools and 120 Spring Bud Female Children's Classes, which have helped over 6,700 girls finish their nine-year compulsory education or college education.
The Party Committee of the People's Armed Police Force has decided to set up a scholarship fund with the four million yuan (US$ 652,400) in donations raised this year. The fund will help 1,000 high school students from eight provinces and regions finish school.
The Spring Bud Project is a public welfare service initiated in 1989 and implemented by China Children and Teenagers' Foundation under the leadership of the ACWF. The project helps rural girls who have dropped out of school continue their education.
As of the end of 2009, the project had raised 800 million yuan (US$ 131.7 million) in total, built more than 1,000 Spring Bud Schools, helped more than 2 million poverty-stricken girls return to school and provided technical training for more than 400,000 girls. In 2005, it was granted the 'China Charity Award' by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
