RASC committee is working with CCTF on rebuild a school

 

RASC committee selected China Children and Teenagers' Foundation (CCTF) to help rebuild A School in earthquake affected area on June 30 and has been working closely with CCTF since then. CCTF will help RASC to find a school, monitor the rebuilding project and report the project progress on a given time interval. At moment, CCTF has identified an elementary school based on RASC’s three major screening criterions:

 

1. The school will name after Pittsburgh,

2. The rebuilding process can be started immediately,

3. The cost is within RASC’s fundraising capability.

 

The new school will be named as “Pittsburgh Chunlei School”. The school is located at Lizhou district of Guangyuan city in Sichuan Province.

 

The total amount for rebuilding the elementary school is 1,830,000RMB, from which it requests a financial aid of 700,000RMB (approx. $103,000.00) from the CCTF, the local government matches the remaining of 1,130,000RMB. Therefore RSAC’s share of rebuilding the school is $103,000.00. Currently RASC has raised $83,000.00 and is about $20,000.00 short of the fund.

 

RASC committee is currently reviewing the options including fundraising campaign of additional $20,000.00, as well as the alternative.

 

The new school layout can be found here. The detail of the document about the school can be found here, the document is in Chinese. The information about CCTF's rebuilding school project can be found here.
