The Spring Bud Project was organized by the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund(CCTF), under the leadership( 领导) of the All China Women’s Federation(联合会). The fund was started by Madam Zhou Jiebing, who donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
The purpose of the Spring Bud Project is to raise the quality of women’s education and ability from childhood. It has tried a lot to raise funds both at home and abroad and its aim is to help dropout girls in China’s poor, rural areas return to school.
In the past ten years, more than 10 million children in China have left schools because their families are too poor, and 70% of these dropouts are girls. In fact, girls’ education has become one of the most difficult problems in China. The CCTF wants to help hundreds of thousands of girls return to school, so it set up the Spring Bud Project.
Thanks to donations from so many people and organizations, by the end of 2009, the Spring Bud Project had raised 800 million yuan in total, built more than 1,000 Spring Bud schools, aided more than 2 million girls to return to school and provided technical training for more than 400,000 girls.

Bob Butler lost his legs in 1965 in Vietnam. Later he returned to the USA and began his life in wheelchair (轮椅). One day he was working in his yard when he heard a woman calling for help. He began moving towards the woman’s house, but something on the ground stopped his wheelchair going through the back door. So he got out of his wheelchair and started to crawl (爬行).
When Butler got through the back door of the house, he found there was a little girl in the pool. She had no arms and couldn’t swim. Her mother was calling for help crazily. Butler got into the pool and pulled the little girl out of the water. Her face was blue, and she was not breathing.
Butler did CPR (心肺复苏术) on her right away. As Butler continued doing CPR, he talked to the mother. “Don’t worry,” he said. “It’ll be OK. I was her arms to get out of the pool. I am now her lungs. Together we can make it.”
