A donation ceremony to support impoverished girls in North China's Hebei Province was launched at a primary school in Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province on April 27.

As part of the nation-wide "Spring Bud" Project, the event was sponsored by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) and the China Life Foundation, the plan aims to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on fostering character and civic virtue. 

Efforts will be made to spread publicity materials, establish a charity base, send gifts to girls in need, and hold classes and summer camps, promoting girls' education, safety, and health in 10 provinces. 

In this way, girls can acquire physical and mental health knowledge while experiencing warmth and care, which will help them become socialist builders and successors with all-round literacy in morals, intellectual matters, physical health, art and labor.

President of the CCTF Chen Xiurong delivers a speech at the launch ceremony on April 27 in North China's Hebei Province. 

According to President of the CCTF Chen Xiurong, who is also a former Vice-President and First Member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), the project is closely related to educating people for the Party and the nation. Due to its attempts to satisfy girls and their parents' needs, the plan has important significance for solving the hot issues in society. 

The CCTF will take bold and efficient steps to guarantee the healthy growth of Spring Bud girls.
