A 12-year-old Taiwan boy, touched by the poverty in Africa, has launched a campaign to send 200 000 sweets and chocolates to African children, his school said on Thursday.
Lin Hung-chun, a sixth-grader at the Ping Ho Primary School in Changhwa, central Taiwan, launched the "candy-raising drive" two weeks ago after seeing a photo exhibition on the poverty in Africa.
He was touched by the photos of skinny African children and vowed to help them by sending them 200 000 sweets and chocolates.
After the press reported his wish, people from all over Taiwan have been sending boxes and bags of candy to four collection points.
