WHEREAS, on Saturday, December Tenth, Two Thousand and Sixteen, the City of
Cupertino wishes to recognize the Shin Shin Educational Foundation on the occasion of
its 2016 Annual Appreciation and Fundraising event; and
WHEREAS, the Shin Shin Educational Foundation (SSEF) provides funds, resources,
services and long term care to help China construct or renovate schools in remote, poor
rural areas in order to enable students to enjoy a better school environment, and improve
the quality of education between metropolitan and rural areas in China; and
WHEREAS, the Shin Shin Educational Foundation has participated in the construction
and repair of 350 primary schools over the past 19 years; and
WHEREAS, after years of hard work and development, Shin Shin has established a good
reputation and continued making positive impacts with its hundreds of volunteers and
thousands of donors, among them celebrities in politics and businesses, well known
community leaders, and successful professionals in high-tech industries; and
WHEREAS, “Shin Shin” means prosperous and is named after an old Chinese motto: “A
group effort will bring prosperity” which is why every year Shin Shin volunteers both
local and abroad travel from far away to visit these children and help them understand
what it means to be cared for with love and support; and
NOW, therefore, the City of Cupertino wishes to commend the Shin Shin Educational
Foundation for its outstanding work and to recognize Saturday, December Tenth, Two
Thousand and Sixteen as

foundation and efforts in coordinating this wonderful event.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of
Cupertino to be affixed this Saturday, December Tenth, Two Thousand and Sixteen.
