各位热心的同事和朋友：

很高兴地告诉大家，从2月25日捐建四川希望小学项目介绍会至今，项目得到了大家的巨大支持，我们已经募集到了国内同事和朋友的捐款79584元人民币(美国同事和朋友向CTEF此项目的捐款还在统计中,比如《微软的测试之道》翻译团队承诺将稿费14463.36元RMB捐给项目)！我代表山那边的小孩子们诚挚地感谢大家的慷慨解囊！

我们已经达到项目第一阶段的募集目标：10万人民币(包括公司等额匹配)，CTEF已将这10万元工程预付款汇至该村，启动希望小学开工建设。从3月9日起，我们进入项目的第二阶段：在6月前再筹集到10万人民币，以完成学校全部施工建设。如果您希望加入我们的爱心大军，现在行动还不晚！更多信息，请参见http://blogs.technet.com/chinahpc/archive/2010/02/07/school.aspx (公司外) 或http://sharepointasia/sites/SichuanSchool(公司内) 。此外，几点声明：

• 此希望小学项目，不是微软公司的官方活动，也与希望工程没有关系，是由HPC上海团队员工们发起的民间慈善活动，跟与微软长期合作的明日中华教育基金会CTEF联合实施。魏臻，作为CTEF的志愿者担当项目经理，负责所有善款的合理使用。
• 后续计划：如有必要，成立项目小组，商讨捐款的用途，组织实地考察和短期支教等活动，有意者回信与我联系。

Hi, Dear warmhearted colleagues and friends,

I’m so glad to tell you that, our project has got huge support and raised 79584RMB (not including the donation made to CTEF directly, for instance <How We Test Software at Microsoft>’s translation team committed to donate all translation payment 14463.36 RMB to this project). I sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and generosity on behalf of the children over the mountain!

We've already achieved the fund raising goal of the first milestone: 100K RMB(including company’s match). CTEF has wired the 100K RMB to the village to start building school. From 9th, March, we’re entering the second milestone, with another 100K RMB fund raising goal for the whole school building project before end of July. If you would like to join us giving campaign, it’s not too later now. Please check out our project: http://blogs.technet.com/chinahpc/archive/2010/02/07/school.aspx (extranet) or http://sharepointasia/sites/SichuanSchool (intranet). 2 clarifications:

• Our Hope School project, isn’t a Microsoft official event, and has nothing to do with “Hope Project”. It is initiated by HPC Shanghai team, partnering with China Tomorrow Education Foundation CTEF. Zhen Wei, as CTEF volunteer, is acting on the project manager and responsible for making sure the donation is used appropriately.
• Further plan: set up a project team if needed, to discuss the donation usage, organize school visit and volunteer teaching. Please contact me if interested.

How to donate? Simple and easy, just 2 steps:

Step 1:

• U.S.-based Microsoft employees, please donate to CTEF and specify it’s for the MS TC Sichuan School, or click Microsoft-TC-School-in-Sichuan page if you want to donate via PayPal. Then also go to http://give and ask for your donation to be matched.
• China-based friends, please choose either hand over cash to Zhen Wei (4239, 999 Zixing Road, Shanghai, China), or transfer your donation to Zhen Wei’s account (中国建设银行上海市紫竹支行 魏臻 6227 0012 1754 0002 351).
• Others, please contact Zhen Wei through zhenwei@microsoft.com or (86-21)61885187
