– Thank you for this additional information. Why does the Association’s form indicate that the schoolbags will “be delivered to the government of Guizhou Province” in the donation ceremony if they are being directly delivered to the school children? Is it that they are given to the government of Guizhou Province and the government distributes them at the ceremony?
– The association confirmed that the related department from government of Guizhou province will provide the suggestion for distribution plan, at the ceremony the donations will be delivered to the students directly. That’s how they worked in the past years.
– When you say that the related department from government of Guizhou province will provide the suggestion for distribution plan, does that mean that the department will decide which specific students will get the donated bags or the department will come up with a general plan for the donated bags?
– The departments will propose a general plan because they have a better understanding of local realities, including how many pupils there are in each primary school, each student’s family background and how the school operates. CAFFCI will conduct further research and decide on the final donation plan. That’s what I’ve learnt from the experience with this project. Thank you.
