Dear parents,
As we are preparing for the Charity Drive & Spring Festival on this coming Friday, February 6
th I would like to introduce the Newton Charity Fund, which is managed by
Newton Hui Xin campus parents and overseen by management to ensure full
transparency.
Guests joining the event on Friday are kindly asked to donate money at the entrance to the school.
The charity fund accumulates donations from parents, employees and
companies in order to help where help is needed most! In the past the
Newton charities have donated to the Sichuan Earthquake victims,
Japanese Red Cross – Tsunami Relief Effort and UNICEF as well as several
children from the Suzhou orphanages that needed medical attention
and/or surgical procedures. Most recently Newton’s Shangjun campus
raised funds to pay for a girl of a migrant family, who had suffered
third degree burns during an accident and was in urgent need of surgical
recovery.
The Charity fund is managed under the following responsibilities below
and will respond to donation requests by families in need as well as
actively cooperate with the Suzhou hospitals and orphanages to offer
children of poor families a helping hand with their medical needs.
Furthermore, should Newton parents acquire information of children in
need of urgent help; you can submit a request to the fund committee
through email
charity@internewton.com .
