Though only a high school student from Western Academy of Beijing, Li Jianing is making headlines by using the power of entrepreneurship to raise money for HIV-positive children.
Li started a project called "Red Ribbon in DIY" last May. Participants in the project make small DIY products and sell them to collect money for young AIDS patients in remote areas of China.
"I see there is a big role that adolescents can play in raising awareness about HIV," Li said at the Programme Coordinating Board meeting, which she serves as a representative of Chinese youths.
