Officials added that the alliance welcomed volunteers from all over the country to participate in it. To date, 10 volunteer teams from Zhangjiakou in Hebei province, Yanqing district, Huairou district and Miyun district in Beijing have joined in.

The alliance will carry out many protection-themed activities at the wall to enhance awareness about the need for its protection and to popularize the culture of the Great Wall. Volunteers will take rubbish away and dissuade visitors from drawing on it. They will also share photos and experiences about the wall with friends, and recount stories about the landmark, in the hope that it will spur more people to join the protection team.

Su Jing, a volunteer from Zhangjiakou, in Hebei province, said that with the volunteers' activities and the injection of funds, the cause of the Great Wall's protection would be further advanced, prompting more concerned people, entrepreneurs and foundation organizations to help in the future.

The Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation -- which mainly supports the development of people's lives through education, medical treatment, culture, and sports -- has contributed a total of more than 1.9 billion yuan to social welfare projects in China and Singapore in recent years.
