搭建青少年公益创新平台, 促进教育与公益组织交流。

In 2020, COVID-19 spread globally. School-age children have been significantly impacted. Many of them have to do online learning at home and cannot stay at the school campus for various activities. Parties are canceled; music concerts are on hold; gym sports are closed. Even many outdoor activities are prohibited. Social distancing has been making their life difficult.

Global Youth Philanthropy(GYP) is committed to building a public welfare innovation platform for young people worldwide and cultivating future global citizens with servant leadership and responsibility. We recently produced a youth charity song"The Sun Rises," created by three teenagers from China and the United States, reflecting the impact of the pandemic from the perspective of young people, as well as their faith and hope for the bright future. We recruited more than twenty young singers of different ages, races, and seven countries worldwide to sing and perform in this record. The song will be released globally and will be performed live in public welfare activities after the pandemic. As the song says, "We will join our hands, and we will sing along; Let the music start, and we will never be apart!"
