Band of angels joins war on poverty

Wang Haizhu, who works in the financial sector in Beijing, refuses to remain on the sidelines as China's war on poverty escalates.

"I don't want to be just a spectator," she said.

Wang once participated in a charity project near Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, where she witnessed the brutal poverty among single, elderly villagers, many of them in their 80s or older, who had no children or income. Deeply affected, she decided to act on her own.
