The NGO Happy Drum Happy Children from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, introduces itself to the visitors at the Third China Charity Fair held in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. After two years' falling, donations to Chinese charities rebounded to 98.9 billion yuan ($16.1 billion) in 2013, a 21.06-percent increase than 2012, according to a report released by the China Charity and Donation Information Center, which is under the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The drop in donations in 2011 and 2012 came after a series of scandals involving several charitable organizations. The report said the rebound is due to a better philanthropy environment, citizens' improved charity awareness and public enthusiasm after natural disasters. (MAO SIQIAN) |
