Two school libraries in Gansu

As part of their school year project, Y5 students from French school of Shanghai Pudong have decided to support the Children of Madaifu. They have organized several fund raising actions along the year (making and selling Christmas greeting cards, organizing a bakery sale…), and have collected close to 5 500 RMB.

The proceeds have been used to create two libraries: one in Zhangba school in Linyou County and the other one in Gangu Yao Ya school, where 4 children of Madaifu are attending school.

This project has involved the directors of the two schools. A very big thank you to the Y5 students, their teachers for their very active involvement and all the parents who have supported these actions!

Thanks a lot to everyone for this great party which allows the association to raise nearly 10.000 RMB for the Children of Madaifu: having great fun while lend a helping hand to the children… what a fantastic opportunity!

On the day of the charity book sale, Saturday 14th of April 2012, a lot of children and adults were happily shopping for books, going home with piles of new readings.
100% of the funds raised from the book sale has been given by the BDA to the charity organization Les Enfants de Madaifu, that is, a 20 695 RMB donation.

Les Enfants de Madaifu would like to thank warmly the BDA for his support and his incredible involvement all along this event.
