Alumni group lends a hand to help students in Sierra Leone

A Tsinghua University alumni association is playing an important role in promoting exchanges between China and Africa.

The alumni association in Zhuhai and Macao, known as the Zhuhai and Macao Tsinghua Redbud Alumni Association, was founded in 2015 in the Macao Special Administrative Region. It now has more than 6,000 members, consisting of Tsinghua graduates in all walks of life.

Since its founding, the association has devoted much of its energy to various social responsibility programs in China, and is now looking to do the same sort of work abroad, according to officials of the organization.
