Local Hero Etienne W.

Etienne is 7 years old this year,currently in his second year in a London primary school. He has been watching the news about the COVID-19 outbreak in China since January and decided to do something for children in China, particularly in Hubei Province.

On 10th February 2020, Etienne started his fund-raising initiative. After donating all of his pocket money, he set up a webpage to collect money from friends and family, in order to purchase necessary medical equipment to protect these children. He implemented a mechanism to boost donations, by promising his friends and family that he will read a book for any individual donation more than 25 pounds, and that he will learn a new piano piece if the donation is more than 50 pounds.
