Mystery donor

HANGZHOU Charity Foundation received a 2.5 million yuan (US$384,968) donation on Monday for its "free school lunch" program in southwest Guizhou Province. The donor asked for anonymity.

It is the largest donation the program has received since it was launched last month. The program has obtained more than 5.27 million yuan of funds so far.

The program organizer said 2.5 million yuan can provide free lunches for 400 students in Guizhou for about 10 years.

Altogether 527 children in three primary schools in the province's poverty-stricken areas have benefited from the free lunch program.
