Social Support
Charity cannot go on without support from the public.
There are many big names among the volunteers and supporters of "So the World May Hear," including former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and film actors Brad Pitt, Kevin Costner, Marlee Martlin, and Jet Lee.
The project also drew many respected Chinese luminaries. Tai Lihua, a deaf dancer, is the project's goodwill ambassador in China. Other volunteers include Li Daoyu, China's former ambassador to the UN, Wei Jianguo, former deputy minister of commerce, well-known writer Yi Zhongtian, NBA star Yao Ming, head coach of the national shooting team Wang Yifu, badminton world champion Xie Xingfang, entrepreneurs Huang Nubo and Shen Guojun, and top model Ma Yanli.
All have made donations and taken part in many charitable activities. Their participation and advocacy have drawn attention to the project.
Tao Siliang's daughter Tao Ye has participated in the project as well. She not only attracted corporate sponsorship, but also led her employees to volunteer for the project in Yunnan Province at their own expense.
Love points the road to light and gives people dignity. From the perspective of love, the American and Chinese dreams are very similar.
