My First Schoolbag Charity Project Launched in Beijing

The 2011 My First Schoolbag Charity Project launch ceremony took place on September 1, China's official start of school, at the Hong Shan School in Beijing's Changyang District.

This year's charity campaign will give new schoolbags and stationery supplies to 17,000 first grade students, all of whom are left-behind, impoverished or children from migrant worker families, in 200 primary schools in 17 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

Member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation and Vice Director of China Children and Teenager' Fund Fan Jiying and Luo Weihan, president of CapiaLand China, who sponsored the charity activity, attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.

"The success of the charity project in 2010 makes CapitaLand even more set on a long-term commitment. CapitaLand China encourages its employees across the country to participate in the charitable cause in efforts to give needy students the help they need at the starting line of their study life," Luo Weihan said.

Last year's launch of the My First Schoolbag Charity Project benefited 10,000 impoverished primary school children in 15 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.
