After nearly two months, Manulife-Sinochem's charity fund raiser to support three schools for hearing impaired children ended this week – with more than a million people contributing RMB 480,000. The event, in which agents volunteered to sell umbrellas to raise funds, took place throughout Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Chongqing and so on totally 10 provinces. The money raised by selling "Love Umbrellas" will be donated to the Suining Shehong, Meishan Renshou and Gao county special schools in Sichuan, for buying audiphones and other equipments to support and enable children with hearing and subsequent speaking disabilities. As part of the donation, 15 deaf-mute students from Shehong and Renshou special schools will fly to Shanghai in March for a 3-day dream trip. Manulife-Sinochem volunteers will take them to see city highlights including the Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and on a Huangpu River cruise.
