<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, March 30, 2010: Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other<br />

provinces within the southwestern region <strong>of</strong> China are currently under a<br />

once-in-a-century drought that is affecting over 60 million people, where 20 million<br />

do not have drinking water. The members <strong>of</strong> the Student Serving Troop <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> have<br />

been closely paying attention to the drought and started to organize the donation<br />

entitled <strong>of</strong> ―Ambassador <strong>of</strong> Rain‖. This donation event, which took place on March<br />

27, is a direct reflection <strong>of</strong> the project ―Action for Rain‖ by the China Foundation for<br />

Poverty Alleviation (CFPA).<br />

On the morning <strong>of</strong> March 27, the Student Serving Troop <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> organized a<br />

donation booth at the Triangle on the main campus. In order to remove all suspicion<br />

<strong>of</strong> corruption, all donations made to this cause was recorded by the name <strong>of</strong> the<br />

donator and the amount donated. However, many students chose to donate<br />

anonymously.<br />
