The "Rainbow Bridge" charity project for Chinese and foreign students' cultural exchange has been held two times so far. A total of 100 children from China and the United States were funded. They went to each other's country for cultural exchanges over a period of one month. Chinese teenagers visited the United States Department of Education, the Chinese Embassy in the United States, the United States Congress, Washington City Hall, the United States Department of Foreign Affairs, and Harvard, MIT and other well-known colleges and universities in the United States. After visiting China, the students also expressed a new understanding of China and became more interested in Chinese culture. This activity has been highly praised by the Ministry of Education, Bank of China, Chinese Embassy in the United States, the United States Embassy in China, the United States Department of Education, and the American Council for the Promotion of Overseas Students. This project builds a bridge of hope and a bridge of friendship for the exchanges between Chinese and American teenagers and the cultural exchanges between China and the United States. ^[3]
