Jackie Chan's Build a School for a Dollar

The goal of the Dragon's Heart Foundation is to provide educational opportunity for children in remote areas of China. Twenty-two schools have been built or are in the process of being built since the Foundation began its work. In these remote areas, children often live very far from schools and since there is no transportation, they are unable to attend. Some children live closer, but cannot pay the yearly school fee (about US $9). Others are forced to work rather than attend school. Dragon's Heart tries to build schools in central locations to make them available to as many children as possible. The Foundation also provides warm clothing and school supplies if needed. Jackie wants you to see exactly where your money goes, so here are some photos. There are hundreds more photos on our main website at JackieChan.com in Jackie's diaries, Scrapbooks, and photo albums. (All photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.)
Jackie tells an audience in Inner Mongolia that even a small contribution is most welcome.	These are the children that your donations help. Without the generosity of Jackie's fans, they would have no desks, uniforms, books, or school fees..	Before the Dragon's Heart project, this little boy would not be sitting in a brand new school and would not have the proper supplies for a good education.
Uniforms donated to the children by the Dragon's Heart Foundation.	Children exercising in front of their brand new school.	Your generosity put these children in a clean and well stocked classroom.
Drawing and plans for new school.	And here it is!	Construction continues on all phases of the new school.
This girl has many reasons to be happy now.	Sports equipment is donated by the Dragon's Heart Foundation.	Outside the new school, students demonstrate some of the things they are learning.
