[2014-10-01] Visiting Journal: Gansu Dunhuang Shin Shin School by Steve Ting

We formed a group of 16 members representing SSEF (Shin Shin Educational Foundation) and the Rotary Club to deliver 200 wheelchairs to the needy disabled people in Lanzhou Gansu. After that, we continued our journey to Dunhuang Gansu, visiting three Shin Shin elementary schools for understanding their situation of using charity funds and their future needs, as well as bringing love and care to rural children, and sharing the spirit of helping others.
