GCAT Project to Support Medical Clinics in Guizhou - Photos from my visit in October 2009

GCAT (the Global Concerns Action Team) at Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong is sponsoring the construction of two medical clinics in Majiang County (麻江县), Guizhou Province, China in co-operation with Amity Foundation. This page is one of 36 galleries showing the area and its medical needs.

Our students did service work at two primary schools in Cengong.

The first school was the Xin Xing No.2 Primary School.
