Charity can takes many forms. In this picture school students sit around hundreds of thousands of coins, which are piled up in the shape of a heart although not all of it has fitted into the picture, during a campaign in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, to call on children to help to impoverished students in rural areas.

The organizers have collected nearly RMB300,000 from students in cities around Zhejiang.

It is probably an unacceptable thought but one hopes there are automatic machines that will count all that money.
