In order to further promote the spirit of charity and love and help children in impoverished mountainous areas, the International Commonweal Support Organization has successfully carried out the first and second phases of the “One box of milk, one kindness” assistance project in Longchi Primary School starting from March 2020. The society pays close attention to the health problems of children in impoverished areas. This assistance activity was organized around the theme of “Let the mountain children drink a glass of milk in the morning”, aiming to create a strong public welfare atmosphere through fixed-point assistance, advocate the concept of social welfare assistance, and build a platform for all sectors of society to participate in public welfare undertakings. The ICSO international charity support organization provided 400 boxes of Mengniu pure milk purchased on JD.com to Longchi Primary School located under Qiyuewangzhang in the northeastern part of Mabugang Town, totaling RMB 16,800. This assistance was jointly initiated by ICSO International Public Welfare Support Organization and China Social Relief Foundation, and cooperated with Tencent Public Welfare in the form of “online fundraising”, and received positive response and support from a large number of netizens. As of June 2020, the successful implementation of the first phase and second phase of the ICSO international charity support organization “One box of milk, one kind heart” project has successfully realized that 105 students of Longchi Primary School will be The desire to drink loving milk. According to Yao Jitong, the person in charge of this event, through extensive publicity, more groups and individuals have fully understood and understood the physical status of young people and children in impoverished mountainous areas.

7-18 years old is the golden stage of height development for teenagers and children. In 2018, the National Health Commission of China issued the “Grade Standards for the Height Development of Children and Adolescents from 7 to 18 Years Old”, which divides the height development level of adolescents and children into 5 levels: height <-2SD is inferior; height ≥ -2SD and <- 1SD is middle-low; height ≥-1SD and ≤+1SD is medium; height>+1SD and ≤+2SD is middle-upper; height>+2SD is upper-class. [SD is the English abbreviation for Standard Deviation. Nowadays, the standard deviation (SD) ratio method is commonly used in the international scoring of height and weight. ]

However, in the impoverished mountainous areas of our country, the average height of children of this age is in the middle or lower stage. In fact, this phenomenon is very common among young people in impoverished mountainous areas in our country. The most fundamental reason for this type of problem is: mountainous areas. The poverty and lack of materials have caused widespread malnutrition in most young people. The official assistance activities of the International Commonweal Support Organization have made more people in the community pay attention to the health of children deep in the mountains.

Love is a life-long good deed. In China, tens of millions of poor children in mountainous areas are constantly facing education, health, and even how to survive. Mr. Gates Yao, chairman of the International Commonweal Support Organization, said: In the future, we will continue to use practical actions to make public welfare assistance solid and detailed, so that children in the most remote mountainous areas can also feel the power of love.
