Li Foundation recently had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Zhang Xin, President of the Lanzhou University Singapore Alumni Association, for a discussion on philanthropy and community service.
During the meeting, Li Foundation shared about its philanthropic mission and ongoing projects, highlighting the key principles that guide its work, from seeding innovative pilot projects to engaging in collaborative philanthropy to create a bigger impact. Mr. Zhang expressed appreciation for these values, noting strong resonance with the Alumni Association’s own commitment to giving back to the community.
Established in 2019, the Lanzhou University Singapore Alumni Association seeks to strengthen the sense of cohesion and belonging among its members, many of whom have lived and worked in Singapore for over two decades. Since its establishment, the Alumni Association has actively organized various activities such as hiking, mountain climbing, badminton, and table tennis for its alumni body and engages in community service. The association also maintains strong connections with fellow alumni associations in cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Lanzhou, and Nanjing, assisting alumni who are interested in developing their careers in Singapore to better understand and integrate into the local environment.
