The USC Chinese Students and Scholars Association has taken on the task of raising money for the school destroyed by recent flooding in China.
Approximately 8 million children were left without schools and the Hangqiaoxiang Primary School in Jiangxi Province, Duchang County was one of the schools destroyed.
CSSA president Feng Zeng wanted to help the people of his homeland ana found the principal of the primary school through a friend.
"When I was speaking (over the phone) to a teacher friend of mine, he suggested Principal Li (Yinmou) ara his cause," Zeng said.
Yinmou has received some funds to help rebuild the school, but the money he has is not enough. As a result, he asked the campus organization to raise $10,000 to help complete construction on the new school.
"Once he asked me, I was inspired to do something because of the wonderful cause," Zeng said.
So far, the CSSA has received about $5,400 in donations and will continue to raise funds until
they reach the goal.
"We've only heen fundraising for the past 20 days and we wifi continue to for as long as it takes," Zeng said.
Heavy rains in the northwestern Heilongjiang province caused the Yangtze River to swell, affecting the seven provinces along its banks. Many people were left homeless including local students' families.
"Before I left to come to school, my wife and I were stranded in our home because of the rain," said Yang Shen, a graduate student in electrical engineering.
The flood is the most catastrophic in China since 1954, when 30,000 people died.
"I have spoken to my wife and more and more aid is coming, but things are still terrible," Shen said.
Many students at USC have had little knowledge of the floods, but support the CSSA cause.
"I'm afraid to say that I really don't know anything about the floods, but they definitely deserve the help," said Ronnie Coelho, a junior majoring in theater.

After the Federal Communications Commission shut KSCR down in August,
USC's student radio station will begin its first semester of intemet-only broadcast on Sept. 21.
For seven years, KSCR transmitted on a low-wattage FM frequency that reached listeners only within several blocks until it received a cease-and-desist order from the FCC in August, said Derek McNeill, last year's general manager.
KSCR was one of tne over 200 low-wattage stations closed around the country.
But current KSCR general manager Mark McNeill said the changes that occurred this summer aren't all bad.
RealAudio Internet, the online format, broadcasts all around the world allowing listeners to tune in from anywhere. This format was made possible through a growing alliance with the Annenberg Online
