Education future

FESCO Adecco Win4Youth, a global charity activity, sent its first team to Hezhang county in southwestern Guizhou province in early April to start its first donation troupe of the year.

Hezhang county of Bijie city in Guizhou is poverty stricken. In this remote mountainous area, educational resources are very limited. Local schools lack proper facilities, let alone libraries. It is therefore quite common that children in this county have no books to read.

In the hope of giving a helping hand to these poverty-stricken children, Win4Youth of Adecco collected a total donation of 560,000 yuan ($90,691.59) for the Chinese charity organization Library Project in 2012. The money will be used to help about 40 primary schools in Bijie, mainly to buy desks, chairs, bookshelves and books and to build libraries for them.
