Coca-Cola donates 4.33 million for China's rural students

BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- For many urban Chinese, Coca-Cola is a popular drink. But for Tibetan college graduate Rang Ying, Coca-Cola means schooling, as Coca-Cola financed her college education.

Chairman of Coca-Cola China Limited Steve K. W. Chan announced here Thursday that the company decided to donate another 4.33 million yuan (some 521,700 US dollars) for 526 rural students in China's 37 universities and colleges.

Chan made the announcement at a ceremony to mark the 10th anniversary of cooperation between Coca-Cola and the China Youth Development Foundation for the Project Hope, China's largest welfare program initiated in 1989.

In 1999, Coca-Cola donated one million dollars to a joint scholarship program to aid 678 rural college students.
