5. Google China Social Innovation Cup for College Students" is
a nationwide competition that aims to empower China’s
youth to become agents of social change. By soliciting
project ideas from college students and funding viable
proposals, we hope to instill in China’s future leaders the
values of social responsibility, the importance of
community welfare, and the spirit of self-empowerment.
Among all colleges and universities that participate in the
competition, 100 of them that top in the number of
proposal submission will share 500 Google "Campus
Volunteer Stars" Scholarships every year.

Sichuan province in Western China, claiming the lives of tens of
thousands. Amidst the chaos and despair, Google’s various
departments mobilized immediately to support rescue and relief
efforts.
In early September 2008, Google funded construction of 15 Google

province, helping 18,184 elementary and high school students to
return to the classroom.
Google has also partnered with Mercy Corps, Save the Children,
Doctors without Borders and other organizations to commit rescue
and relief support to quake victims for the next 2-3 years, focusing
especially on rebuilding, rehabilitating, and retraining.
