OLYMPICS CONTINUE IN CHINA
Between the Olympic Games, its soaring economy, human rights protesters, and May's tragic earthquake, China has been grabbing headlines. Since 1979 the Foundation has worked with Chinese partners to support reforms and help manage dramatic changes in Chinese society resulting from the country's rapid economic transformation. China's migrant workforce is one of the major drivers of their economic rise, so in Beijing we created a fund for workers to provide them with health services, education and labor rights awareness. China also faces enormous environmental challenges. In Guangdong, we're helping reduce heavy metals discharged into the Pearl River. The Foundation also works in disaster preparedness, and, since the earthquake, has designed specific recovery and reconstruction projects. Read about President Bush's trip to Asia.
