Funding project for handicapped

A crowdfunding project has been launched on Taobao.com and Sina.com, to help raise funds for a concert being planned for the National Center for Performing Arts by Shanshui Orchestra, which is made up of disabled people born in the 1980s and 1990s. The event hopes to raise 200,000 yuan ($32,690) in 30 days. The money will be used for the orchestra's expenses, including the cost of costumes and instruments. Organizers hope that holding the event at such a high-profile venue will help raise awareness of handicapped performers.
