2002-2007共興建、維修六所欣欣小學。Shin Shin rebuilt and remodeled six schools in Fujian from 2002 to 2007.

福建省（簡稱閔）成名于唐朝，位于中國東南沿海 ，東北與浙江省毗鄰，西、西北與江西省接界，西 南與廣東省相連，東隔臺灣海峽與台灣相望。 福建有漫長的海岸縣，媽祖是以中國東南沿海為中 心的海神信仰。傳說媽祖俗名林默（林默娘），出 生於中國福建省莆田湄洲島，幼時便諳熟水性，常 著一身紅衣，立于岸邊，為出海的魚船導航，甚至 于惡劣的天氣也不例外。傳說媽祖為尋找出海未歸 的父親而犧牲年輕的生命。 Fujian is one of the provinces on the southeast coast of China. Fujian borders Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west, and Guangdong to the south. Taiwan lies to the east, across the Taiwan Strait. The name Fujian was coined during the Tang Dynasty. Fujian is well known for its long coastline. Matsu (literally "Mother-Ancestor") is the Taoist goddess of the sea who protects fishermen and sailors, and is revered as the patron saint who protects East Asians associated with the ocean.

媽祖自北宋開始受人建廟膜拜，逐漸從福建傳播到 浙江、廣東等沿海省分，並向海外的臺灣、琉球、 日本、東南亞（如泰國、馬來西亞、新加坡）等地 傳布。媽祖的影響力由湄州島傳播開來，歷經千百 年，對於華人沿海文化產生重大的影響，被學者們 稱為媽祖文化。仙游園庄后菜欣欣小學（#149）就 位于媽祖的故鄉莆田市。 Legend has it that Matsu was a silent girl with excellent swimming skills. She wore red and stood on the shore to guide fishing boats home, even in the most dangerous and harsh weather. Eventually she gave her young life in order to save her lost father in the sea. Starting from Fujian, worship of Matsu has spread to the neighboring coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong, and thence to all coastal areas of mainland China. With migration, it spread further to Taiwan, Vietnam, Ryukyu, Japan, and South East Asia. Today, worship of Matsu is also found in other countries with sizable populations from these regions. In total, there are around 1,500 Matsu temples in 26 countries of the world. One of Shin Shin's schools is located in the city of Putian, the legendary birthplace of Matsu, where hundreds of temples were dedicated to the goddess of the sea.

欣欣自2002年起在福建興建了六所小學，分別位于 泉州，建甌，葡田，連江和武夷山。在欣欣的關懷 下，這六所小學翻新了校舍，改善了教學的軟硬件 條件，學校師生無不歡欣鼓舞，其中有四所學校更 安裝了電腦。 Since 2002, Shin Shin has built six schools across Fujian located at Quanzhou, Jiangou, Putian, Lianjiang, and Wuyishan. These schools embrace tremendous support and consideration from Shin Shin, setting up new buildings and improving both the hardware and software of education. Four out of the six schools received computer equipment. All students and teachers are sincerely grateful for Shin Shin's contribution over the years.
