L'Oreal brings help to poor mums of child quake victims

Beijing - Liu Hongying, a farmer in Beichuan Qiang autonomous county, Sichuan , is the mother of the first test-tube baby to be born in the province following the earthquake disaster.

As one of the worst-hit regions, Beichuan suffered heavy losses. Liu lost her 19-year-old son in the quake alongside thousands of mothers who lost children, and are still suffering from mental anguish and economic difficulties even today.

L'Oreal, the French cosmetics company, donated 500,000 yuan as well as skin care products to the county's 200 mothers with annual incomes of less than 650 yuan, under the help and support of the China Population Welfare Fund.
