Xunhua Special School
In October 2008 and February 2009, members of Change for Life visited the Xunhua Special School. First time we went there to get an understanding of their needs and the second time to provide food, fruit, schoolbags, blankets, mattresses etc. Next step will be to rebuild and renovate part of the school.
