Sino-Korean charity to rebuild primary school

A Sino-Korean charity program to rebuild a primary school is reviving hopes for a community in Dongxiang, northwestern Gansu province, one of the poorest counties in China.

South Korean clothing brand EXR signed a cooperative agreement with China Daily to launch the 400,000 yuan poverty relief program yesterday.

"It is about love and we would not cut one coin from the charity program in wake of the global economic crisis," said Weon Chang-Seok, the manager director of EXR, yesterday in Beijing.
