A large-scale vaccination campaign for schoolchildren aged 12 and above is currently underway in Guangxi.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Local news<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor Couleurs de Chine volunteers in France and staff in Danian, the beginning of the school year is a time of intense information exchange.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe collect the latest school results (especially those of female high school and university students), their new assignment mainly for primary school children moving from their village school to a central town school, 6th grade schoolchildren moving to secondary school (rural or city), female high school students moving to secondary school (or dropping out of compulsory education), as well as secondary school students moving to university or technological\/professional institute.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis requires time to check in and verify the information so that we can then pay out the grants.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When is this information updated in the sponsor web portal?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThey are progressively added as the data are collected from the sponsees. For example, as of 4 August 2021, almost all the schoolchildren’s results from elementary schools and rural middle schools are available in your dashboard (except for the schools in the Fulu sector from which we have not yet received anything).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As of 6 August, your sponsee’s class level is for the 2021-2022 school year. If the level code contains a “+” sign (e.g. X+), it means that your sponsee has changed cycle (e.g. entered the first year of secondary school) and we have placed her on hold for information on her new assignment. As soon as the new assignment is known, we update our database.<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Improving online payment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSome of you may have encountered problems when paying online by credit card for sponsorships and donations, especially for banks that required double authentication. This has been solved, now you can pay:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u2022 by credit card (STRIPE payment option)\r\n\u2022 by credit card (Paypal option)\r\n\u2022 by Paypal (with your Paypal account if you have one)\r\n\u2022 by bank transfer to Couleurs de Chine’s bank account\r\n\u2022 by cheque addressed to Couleurs de Chine<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith Stripe and Paypal, you can pay for your sponsorships and donations in several currencies including RMB.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf your sponsee changes cycle, the sponsorship amount also changes! Before renewing, check your dashboard to see if your sponsee has moved from elementary school to junior high, junior high to secondary school, or secondary school to college in order to change your payment.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
