Blessing Hands is a public charity, founded by an American retired teacher (Mrs. Betty Cutts) and her family, which is dedicated to helping and nurturing students by providing international friendship and improving acess to educational opportunities for Chinese poor students, especially in Guangxi Province of China.

Great Appreciation for your donation to Lufei Children's FUND, SCHOLARSHIP FUND, and Water Project.

I am not a member or affiliated to this charity organization. The reason why I place the ads here is that I, as a Chinese guy, very very very appreciate an American lady voluntarily and enthusiastically collecting American money to help my Chinese folks!
