The money will help launch three "Mingde Charity Association Project Hope Classes" in Beijing, Guangdong and Sichuan to support 150 underprivileged students studying at vocational schools.

This is the first donation Project Hope has received since the launch of its Vocational Education Aid Plan which is targeted at supporting students from poor families in receiving vocational education and helping them develop professional skills.
