For our third year, Austen Morris Associates participated in Community Center Shanghai’s (CCS) Annual Giving Tree project. On November 20th at PD 003 Benefit People Primary 利民小学 Migrant School in Pudong. Managing Senior Partner James Colclough, Special Projects Manager, Billie Jin, Marketing Team including Connie Li and Katie Littlefield brought fifty bags filled with a warm jacket, new shoes and a toy to each of the needy students. Along with other donors and CCS, we hope to inspire the migrant community and their children in need to show generosity to others.
