Happy Year of the Dog to all Maovember supporters! Hundreds of people donated time, money, venue space, drinks, foods and more this past year to help our 2017 partners Library Project and Bread of Life.

Bread of Life has already used Maovember money to upgrade its water heater and walk-in fridge. We are planning a site visit after the holidays to see how the rest of the funds are being used for baking equipment.

The next Library Project reading room will be furnished in March. As GoodWorks, our 2016 charity partner, will close this month, its unused Maovember funds will be transferred to Library Project for reading rooms in Yunnan, where GoodWorks sourced its coffee and tea. It’s sad news that GoodWorks will end but good news that all donations will be put to good use. Photos, details and receipts will be posted as those projects unfold.

Maovember is truly a team effort and a testament to the generosity of people from all over the world who live in China and want to do something good. All the best for the New Year holidays!

Maovember focuses on quirky events for good causes. Our 2022 partner is Library Project, which has furnished thousands of reading rooms in rural schools. Learn more about Maovember here. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
