On Oct 13, Ordos held a grand opening ceremony for the project "Financing needy families in Inner Mongolia, saving children in sickness".

Government leaders representing Ordos and the Dongsheng district Party committee and other dignitaries such as Cao Zhichen, vice mayor of the Ordos Municipal People's Government, Yan Meirong, executive vice president of the Red Cross Society of China and Li Lin, a famous philanthropist and the chairwoman of the charity foundation bearing her name participated in the ceremony.

The project was initiated by Li and founded after an active response by other benevolent enterprises and charitable entrepreneurs. Its main object is to benefit children less than 12 years of age from registered poor families in Inner Mongolia. The medical expenses of the hospitalized children who receive treatment in Ordos Kangyi hospital will be taken care of by the hospital and the Li Lin Charity Foundation.
