Acrobatic Troupe for Disadvantaged Children | iFeng
Liu Guanguan—iFeng
Liu Fu, a former acrobat, founded an acrobatic school for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Puyang, Henan province in 2014. He says he believes that the skills the children learn at the school will empower them in other areas of their lives. The students, ages six to 17, train and live together. They perform around the province in order to raise money that funds the students’ room and board and fees for the students who perform. Liu and his wife also financially support the school in order to keep it open, but Liu hopes that one day the profits made from the students’ performances can sustain daily operations.
