Thank You Letters from Disadvantaged Students that We Supported
Our club just received the thank you letters from the 6 disadvantaged students we supported last year who are from China’s Sichuan and Jiangxi Province. Each student is from a family facing different adversity, yet they are able to continue with their education with the money we raised and donated to them. Our club has been supporting Chinese students in need since 2015 when it is founded and some of the students already finished high school and entered college.
