Blue Letter was awarded the "National Rural Left-behind Children Care Service and Rights Protection Demonstration Project" and recognized by the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office as one of the "50 Best Cases of Volunteer Poverty Alleviation" in 2019. Our work has been reported by mainstream media such as CCTV1, People's Daily, and Southern Weekend.
