Dear friends,
Overseas China Education Foundation (OCEF) is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. OCEF is non-governmental, non-religious, and non- partisan;our sole mission is to afford basic education to ecconomically disadvantaged children in rural China. Last year alone, the foundation helped 5,977 children to attend primary and secondary schools and 1089 to attend high schools.
$50 a year or just 13.7 cents per day can keep a child in school. With your support, we hope to change the lives of even more children.
We are participating in the America's Giving Challenge to arise the awareness of rural education in China. It is a 30-day national campaign to encourage participation in charitable causes. The participant with the highest number of unique daily donations wins the grand prize of $50,000. There are also two daily awards: $1,000 to the cause with the most unique donations and $500 to the second place.this event will end on Nov 6th.
OCEF is currently the leader of the overall challenge. The competition is becoming more intense with several causes surging in recent days, we need your help to maintain our lead and to win the grand prize. $50,000 can keep 1,000 children in poor rural areas in schools; we want it, they need it.
