About 83 million yuan (about US$11.5 million) were used in a healthcare program, known as "The Red Cross Angel", which helped 4,223 children with leukemia and congenital heart diseases in medical treatment past year.

 

The other program, "All-love education assistance program", used 15.2 million yuan (about US$2.1 million) for building 34 primary schools, training 100 rural teachers and assisting 788 poor university students in 2007.
