In a remote mountain district of China, a four hour drive north of our offices in Beijing, children were waiting for their new elementary school. The old facility had been condemned and torn down.

Working with the Beijing Youth Development Foundation and China’s “Project Hope,” beginning in 2006, the ACE INA Foundation stepped in with funding to build and fully equip a brand new school. More than 230 children from throughout a roughly 5,200 square mile, (8,700 square kilometer) area would have the benefit of a modern school building, dormitory, computers, library and laboratory. ACE even provided funding to help subsidize the school’s operating budget for the next six years.

At ACE, “Insuring Progress” means more than serving the growing insurance needs of the people of China. One look at the smiling faces of these kids will tell you “Insuring Progress” means doing our schoolwork too!
