BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese People's Armed Police Force (CAPF) on Wednesday donated more than 33 million yuan (about 4.71 million U.S. dollars) to a charity project aimed at helping poor girls finish schooling.

The Spring Buds Project, jointly promoted by the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) and the China Children and Teenagers' Fund, has received a total of 91 million yuan in donations from the armed police force.
