"Educated women have educated children."

About the Founder Tien Ching:

I grew up in Beijing and attended a privileged girls-only school where the daughters of Mao, Deng and other high ranking communists’ officials also attended. Because of the Cultural Revolution, along with millions of other young people, my dreams and opportunities were destroyed. Instead of going to university I was sent to Gansu province and worked in a factory for eight years. In 1983 I moved to Canada and have made this my home ever since. I owned and managed an art gallery in Vancouver for over 20 years. My two children were born in Canada; my son graduated from University of Toronto and my daughter graduated from McGill University. My dream now is to give these girls in rural China the gift of education which I did not receive.
