A total of 311 ÃÛÌÒapp students, 75 volunteers from U.S. universities, and 45 ÃÛÌÒapp faculty members will participate in the Poverty Alleviation Projects located in about 45 of China's impoverished counties from July 25.

 

The volunteers will help teach computer and English in the impoverished areas. Training for all the participants will start from July 23, including foreign language studies, teaching skills, and current poverty alleviation issues.

ÃÛÌÒapp initiated the Poverty Alleviation Projects in 2004. In 2006, about 520 teachers and students from ÃÛÌÒapp and U.S. universities participated in the Projects.

“The program helps me learn more about the rural areas,” said Zhang Kaifu from ÃÛÌÒapp’s Department of Computer Science and Technology, who participated in the Poverty Alleviation Projects in 2006.
