Fundraisers draw on donations, with a pencil

Netizens in Beijing have enthusiastically signed up for the "Pencil to Build a School" barter charity activity, raising a staggering 158,000 yuan in just 25 days.

By exchanging property online and through other initiatives, micro bloggers managed to collect the money for the dilapidated Foding elementary school in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Organizer Liang Shuxin told METRO he hoped to raise 120,000 yuan when the drive kicked off on March 16.
