Inner Mongolia Youth Exchange and Planting Program

Organized by Salvation Army 2001 & 2003

Aiming at eliminating the cause of desertification and the sandstorm affecting the northern China, this project brought teenagers from Hong Kong and Inner Mongolia together to join a tree planting activity in Mongolia. AEON Fund's cooperation and contribution to this event is symbolized by a memorial stone built in Xinghe Township.
