Beneficiaries of the Chinese Ancient Poetry Classics Recitation Project

The national organizing committee of the project promotes the project by continuously organizing and carrying out various cultural exchange activities. In order to help more children in rural areas and hope schools, who lack books due to poverty, to be inspired and nurtured by the excellent traditional Chinese culture, China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF) has already given "Chinese Ancient Poetry Readers" to nearly 200,000 elementary school students in 600 hope schools across the country. However, due to the small number of books and the large number of people, in the hope elementary school that have already received the "Chinese Ancient Poetry Readers", on average, only every 5-10 students can be assigned a book. In March of this year, CYDF officially launched the "100 Counties Program", i.e., to carry out the "Ancient Chinese Poetry Reading" project in 100 rural counties (or county-level cities), with the aim of absorbing one million children from rural cities and towns to take part in the program. The China Youth Development Foundation hopes to collect donations from people of all walks of life at home and abroad who are enthusiastic about the promotion of national culture, and to provide children in rural areas and hope elementary school with the "Chinese Ancient Poetry and Virtues Reading Book".
