In 2006 the Build a School for a Dollar project began on Jackie's Kids Corner website. Since then over US $140,000 has been raised for Jackie's Dragon's Heart Foundation to help build schools in remote areas of China. The project was begun as a way to involve children in charitable giving and it has grown to include adults as well. 

Jackie's fans have come up with dozens of creative ways to raise money. There have been bake sales, craft sales, sponsored bicycle rides, and Chinese writing lessons among the many good ideas for fundraising. Some of the fans write to us and tell us their stories about raising money for the project and we have compiled them all at the Kids Corner. Recently we received a beautiful story written by a 14 year-old boy from The Netherlands. He talks about the lessons he's learned from Jackie about charitable giving and describes what it was like to finally meet his hero at the Jackie Chan Fan Party in Beijing this year.

We invite you to read Thomas' story and to take a look at the many other stories at our Dragon's Heart Helpers webpage.

The fraudsters promised me of giving a project and later duped me. because of that I lost all my wealth what all i earned as well as the money my parents saved for me. Now im not asking money for my personal life but just to keep my parents mostly my mother who is in shock with all this. Please understand me sir. Trust me im not lying. I swear on my god Jesus. Please help me sir. Please understand a tip and a little money here can save my mother and my family Thank you for your time and patience and understanding. Regards, Ajay

It takes a unique, creative person, with much energy and determination to make his projects and charities work. Jackie was blessed with all those attributes and more. We, mere mortals, can only help him by contributing to his dream for his country. To help the people who need the help badly. I am here to help you.
