Sponsorship for Sowers Action to rebuild School in Yunnan Province

In March 2006, HKSEF undertook a joint programme with Sowers Action, a Hong Kong charity organization dedicated to the support of education for under-privileged children in China, to fund the rebuilding of a dilapidated school (Long Jing Cun Primary School) in Yunnan.

Sponsorship to Rebuild School Demolished by the Sichuan Earthquake

Soon after the May 12th Earthquake in Sichuan, HKS Education Fund Limited (through Tsinghua HKS Education Fund) allocated a fund earmarked for re-building primary schools in the stricken areas. In early June 2008, the office of Tsinghua HKS Education Fund immediately sent its team to visit Sichuan. It was then decided that the donation should go to Xujiazhen Primary School in Mian Yang. Professor Hou Sichang represented Tsinghua HKS Education Fund and signed the donation agreement with Youxian District People’s Government on 4 September 2008. The foundation-laying ceremony of Xujiazhen Primary School was held on 10 May 2009. The building of new school was completed in early 2010.
