In the Kitchen with China’s Underprivileged: An Interview with Chu Chaoyu of Amity Bakery

中文

In 1985, a small group of Chinese Christians established the Amity Foundation as a public foundation in Nanjing, China. With the motto “Love in Action,” Amity Foundation committed itself to promoting the holistic development of the social sector in China. To accomplish this goal, Amity has built partnerships, both local and abroad, that serve the social sector from education and health to rural development and the underprivileged. In 2007 Amity founded Mainland China’s first bakery run by mentally disabled people. Recently, I got the chance to talk to Mr. Chu Chaoyu, who established the Amity Bakery and also serves as Director of Amity Foundation’s Social Service Center.
