When Jackie Chan isn't making movies, he is very busy working to help other people, especially children. Jackie has been involved in charity work for almost 20 years, establishing his Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation in 1988. In October of 2004, Jackie founded the Dragon's Heart Foundation to help children and the elderly in poor and remote areas of China. The Dragon's Heart Foundation builds schools in these remote areas and also gives aid to the elderly and handicapped. In the past three years, Jackie has taken many trips to remote areas of China to bring supplies and most of all to bring love and support to poor children and the elderly. There are many children who don't have enough money to go to school and Jackie wants to help them get an education. He uses money collected through the Dragon's Heart Foundation to help the children. But do you wonder where Dragon's Heart gets donations from? They get money from people like you; people who just want to help kids who want to go to school. Jackie collects the money and then builds the schools! So far the Foundation has built 21 schools in China (in Guizhou, Xichang, Shandong, Erdos, Changchun, and Yanbian).

In August, 2006 when Jackie came back from a Dragon's Heart charity mission to Guizhou, China, he thought of a fun way for you to help poor children go to school. The project is called Build a School For a Dollar. You may wonder how anyone - even Jackie - could build a whole school for a dollar. Of course no one can. But if you put your dollar together with someone else's dollar and a whole bunch of other dollars, you could have enough money to build a school! And that's our plan. As an added bonus, Jackie has promised to match your donation. That means if you donate a dollar, Jackie will donate a dollar. If you donate ten dollars, Jackie will donate ten dollars!
