“I want a jump rope!”
“I want a basketball!”
“Can we have a ping-pong table?”
Did you know that these everyday items familiar to urban children are considered luxuries for kids in rural primary schools across central and western China.
In 2014, the China Youth Development Foundation’s “Challenge 8 Hours” charity hiking & trail running event will set off again to build “Project Hope Happy Sports Fields” for rural primary schools in central and western China.
You can join us in hiking, or you can volunteer with us. Regardless of profession or gender, as long as you are between 16 and 60 years old, in good health, and passionate about public welfare, we sincerely invite you to take part in this outdoor charity event.
