Dear friends,
Education is a treasure of unequaled value that is necessary for success in the global economy as well as for spiritual fulfillment. This treasure is considered a human right in many parts of the world but in others, such as remote and rural areas in China, it is only available for the privileged few. The mission of the Hand By Hand Education Foundation (HBHEF) is to give children who are not so privileged the opportunity to continue their education despite financial troubles. For just $50(elementary school), $80(middle school), or $130(high school) a year, you can give a child the gift of education. Please consider choosing a child from our needy students list to sponsor; you can even correspond with him/her on a one-on-one basis!
The HBHEF is a nonprofit charity organization registered in the State of Michigan. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has approved the tax exempt 501(c)(3) status of the HBHEF, meaning that all your donations to the HBHEF will be tax deductible. 100% of your contributions will go to the students; all working staff of HBHEF are volunteers receiving no compensation. They not only contribute time and energy, but also cover the operating expenses of the foundation.If you have any questions regarding the HBHEF and what you can do to help support the great cause of education, please feel free to contact Meiling Gao at hbhef@yahoo.com or call 734-340-3298(home) and 734-837-6896(cell). If you are a student and are interested in sponsoring similar aged needy students or if you are willing to reach out to your friends, please contact youth director Kathy Lu at kaffy.lu@gmail.com and Michelle Lu at michellebop@gmail.com.
The HBHEF and the children of China thank you in advance for your support, caring, and understanding that the global awareness and inspiration to do good that come with an education is crucial for the human beings on our planet to live happily and peacefully with each other. And remember, kids of America, to appreciate the power to make a difference that your education has given you.
