The USCPFA-MN is proud to support the University of Minnesota’s China Center in presenting Jacqueline Beihua Tang in a concert to support those affected by the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis in China. The University has set up a fund to help students and scholars weather the impact of the coronavirus. Many families are not working or may be tending to someone who is ill, causing great hardship for the students here. The resources for international students to address these crisis are limited and certainly do not anticipate the scope of need in an epidemic case. At the Concert, more information will be provided on how to contribute to this fund and a fund to support infectious disease research.
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL USCPFA-MN MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF CHINA TO ATTEND AND TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF THE U.S. AND CHINA!
Here is more information on the Concert, from the U of M China Center:
