ABOUT US
I initiated the "Yushu Reborn" project in 2020 to support Yushu Earthquake victims in obtaining medical school education. For some members of our team, their nonprofit commitments and services in the region began much earlier. As we approach the sixth year mark, we wanted to look back at this journey and chronicle the major milestones which we couldn’t have achieved without the tenacity and collective effort of this team, as well as the unwavering support graciously afforded to us by our community partner school, Yushu Prefecture Vocational School of Tibetan Medicine, locally known as the Cixing school.
In addition, we would like to thank Princeton University and its Pace Center for Civic Engagement. The continued support and advice Yushu Reborn has been fortunate to receive through our partnership has been invaluable in many of our projects.
