| 宁夏儿童早期养育和发展初始项目签字仪式在宁夏举行 |
2011年3月，国际计划同红寺堡和盐池两区县的妇联、教育局共同对两区县进行了现场考察。考察发现，当地存在学前教育严重滞后、入学率低、儿童家庭贫困导致营养单一、幼儿园投入较大等问题。例如，在考察中发现，红寺堡区只有5所幼儿园经过了教育部门的认可，且全部为民办园，条件简陋，师资严重短缺，学前教育质量难以得到保证；学龄前儿童食物单一、缺乏营养，方便面、白米饭、土豆、素面条基本构成了贫困家庭学前儿童食物和营养的主要来源。 2011年5月10日，宁夏回族自治区人民政府外事（侨务）办公室和国际计划（中国）合作实施的“宁夏儿童早期养育和发展初始项目”签约仪式在宁夏回族自治区外事（侨务）办公室多功能厅举行。 |

Torrential rains have hit the south, northwest and northeast China over past two months. The statistics from the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters shows that as of 26th July, there were totally 124 million people in 28 provinces/ districts/ municipalities affected by floods since the beginning of this year, causing 823 people dead and 437 missing, and the direct economic losses are worth CNY 154.1 billion. As a humanitarian organization, Plan China has immediately taken disaster relief actions to respond to floods. The Disaster Risk Management Team of Plan China went to Jiang Xi Province, one of the most severely hit areas, twice in July to investigate and assess the disaster situation, and decided to provide relief support to Li Chuan County. Immediately after this, a Cooperation Agreement on Flood Disaster Relief Project of Li Chuan County was signed by Plan China, Jiang Xi Provincial Charity Federation and Li Chuan County Civil Affairs Bureau. According to the agreement, Plan China will entrust its partners to purchase and distribute relief goods worth CNY 860,000 (USD 125, 972) to flood affected areas, including nearly 200 thousand kilo rice, winter clothing, underwear, etc. Li Chuan County was badly hit by the flood on June 18th, which caused 13,292 damaged and collapsed houses and affected 1,362 households. Nearly 30 teaching buildings of schools were also collapsed during this flood. 90% farmlands were inundated, leading to no harvests. Currently, with regard to the floods, Plan is in the process of evaluating the disasters, with the coordination with its partner--Shaanxi Women’s Federation.
