Volunteer groups work to assist county residents

Zhong Yongjin is president of the volunteer association in his village in Huichang county, Jiangxi province.

Among a number of good works the association has carried out this year, Zhong is particularly proud of the dredging of a water channel.

The channel, which provides water for one-third of the village's rice paddies, had been clogged with mud after heavy rain in May and June.
