Zhang Meng, 20, is from a poor family in Weinan, Shaanxi.

Hearing loss in the right ear and hearing in the left ear gradually weakened 7 years ago. She has been in the top five grades by self-study.

Because of this effort, in 2009, Zhang Meng officially became a "Pearl student" in the charity plan to pick up pearls.

With the help of the charity fund, she not only successfully implanted the cochlear implant, but also resumed her hearing and returned to school to continue her studies. After that, she obtained the Department of cultural relics and Museum of Fudan University in Shanghai with the 86 achievements of Liberal Arts in Shaanxi.

"Besides being grateful, I will study harder and use my experience to encourage more people who need help."

Zhang Meng told reporters that this "grateful heart" is exactly like the voice of her college students who had been funded by the "Pearl picking up" program.

The reporter learned that the plan to pick up pearls is a new donation project this year, Footwear Association Charity Event (FACE), which aims to help the poor and excellent students return to campus.

At the same time, under the active participation of all stars, charitable annual

Reporters learned from the organizers that tens of thousands of children, young people and women groups need to be helped every year, so that they can feel the power of love and charity deeply and repay the society with gratitude in the future.

At the press conference, FACE chairman Jim Issler pointed out: "FACE's Logo symbolizes the cooperation and exchanges between eastern and Western cultures, and contributes to improving the lives of the many vulnerable children who need help most."

At the same time, Jim Issler expressed its heartfelt thanks to the footwear industry colleagues who strongly support FACE, and presented a gift to Daphne International Holdings Ltd, one of FACE's important partners, the organizer of this event, one of China's largest shoe retailers.

In the autumn of falling leaves, there are also some news that reflects people's indifference, which makes people feel cold.

However, instead of sighing and sighing, it is better to lift charitable kindling and share the true meaning of being the best and feel the good moment of charity.

Rene Liu, a famous film star, was deeply moved by this wonderful moment.

In April 3, 2011, Rene Liu, the most important charity project of Xinhua charity foundation, was the volunteer spokesperson of the "Pearl picking" charity project. He first visited Pearl River in Gansu province and visited his family.

The plan to pick up pearls is to establish pearl classes in collaboration with key high schools throughout the country. According to the family's special poverty and excellent academic requirements, 50 pearl students are enrolled in each class.

The school exempted the tuition fees and accommodation fees of the Pearl students, and the donors donated 7500 yuan to each pearl student high school for three years, so that the Pearl students could return to campus and study at ease, as if they would pick up the abandoned pearls and polish them again.

During the visit of Rene Liu, the media vigorously publicized the live broadcast of micro-blog, and increased the amount of donations to the astonishing number. This made Rene Liu very gratified. She said, "although the visiting tour is hard, it has made me see the hope of love."

The "pick up Pearl" charity project is also a new item on the basis of the original donation project this year FACE.

At the scene of the event, in addition to the "pick up Pearl" program, the other 10 representatives of the donated projects of the other FACE also accepted the charity donations from FACE, including the school of public health of Harvard University, the China action plan, the Zhongshan Youth Volunteers Association, the 210 international footwear Foundation, the China Welfare Foundation for the disabled, the Song Qingling foundation represented by Ms. Jin Yuxi, the children's life aid program and student aid fund represented by Guoli Zhang, the "music sails" sponsored by Chai Liang, the children's children's orchestra funded project of the migrant workers, and the love education fund of Vivian Wu and friends. They will also continue to be supported by FACE and continue to cooperate.

At the same time, as one of the new donation projects of FACE this year, the "Song Qingling foundation of China - the US fund" (referred to as "China US fund") was jointly established by the Chinese Song Qingling foundation with Jin Yuxi.

Jin Yuxi, chairman and image ambassador of the Fund Committee, said at the press conference: "we set up the" China US fund "to enhance public awareness of charities by organizing a series of activities related to" beauty ", so as to better put money into Chinese women's and children's projects that are most in need of help.

In addition, the fund will support cultural and arts exchange activities at home and abroad, aesthetic education and public welfare projects related to women and children.

At the charity dinner on that day, the founder of the Jiang Yuheng love education program, Jiang Yuheng and the founder of the "music sails", gave their performances and shared their charitable insights. They expressed their common desire: with the continuous growth of FACE and the continuous extension of the loving journey, more and more people can join the charity team, really help those who need help, and make our society better.

After dinner, guests said that FACE's charity night was unforgettable and significant, together witnessed the power of love and being loved, felt the encouragement of love, and made them more firm in their devotion. They would continue the pace of charity and strive for more children who need help to redevelop their smiles.

Steadfast and benevolent steps

So, what attract more and more enterprises, stars and other community colleagues to continue to join and support?

Perhaps, as chairman FACE Jim Issler said, it has been the practice for many years. In the past 7 years, FACE has come to Shanghai from Zhongshan, Guangdong, under the belief that "let the children who need help to redevelop their happiness and smiles", has promoted the charitable activities to the internationalization of Ci Shansheng across the industry. It is also a modern and innovative concept of charity.

"Under the charitable theme of We Believe, FACE is not a display of misery and sympathy, but a belief that it is the best to be happy. It moves the world with the love of FACE, and makes the world believe in the power of love. We believe that with a strong and optimistic attitude, we can overcome the injustice and relentless fate, create a happy, beautiful and happy future."

Jim Issler told reporters.

Daphne CEO Chen Yingjie said in an interview with reporters: "with FACE cooperation, through actively participating in charitable activities, spare no effort to undertake corporate social responsibility, is part of our Daphne enterprise culture construction.

In the future, we will continue to join in the action of deep and simple charity, and invite more shoe industry colleagues to give back to society and contribute to society. We hope to help all those who need help as much as we can.

It is understood that in 2009, the Song Qingling foundation of Shanghai began to cooperate with FACE.

Song Qingling, Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai foundation of Guangxi, told reporters that all these funds were used to help remote areas in Guangxi. "The Shanghai Song Qingling foundation chose to support 7 maternal and child health care units such as Guangxi Tian Tong maternal and child health care center, Luzhai County Maternal and child health care center, Yangshuo maternal and child health care center, etc.

FACE's $one hundred thousand donation has also been included in the maternal and child safety project, and is mainly used to support the Guangxi Tian Tong maternal and child health care hospital women's health care and high-risk children's treatment project and Luzhai County Maternal and child health care hospital neonatal disease treatment project.

According to the Ministry of civil affairs data, the total amount of social donations in 2006 exceeded 10 billion yuan for the first time, and 100 billion yuan in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

As a donor, the most important question is "where have I donated money and things?"

Guan Jianhua stressed: "every donation will be recorded in detail and not regularly returned to donors.

Charity must be open and pparent so that we can do better.

In fact, this is the main reason why we have been able to cooperate with FACE for two years. "

Solo said: "virtue and good deeds are the only unbeaten investment."

FACE's charitable practices make more and more people feel that as long as they believe in the power of dedication, people will feel happier and society will become better.
