河南省位於黃河中下游，因大部分地區在黃河以南，故 名河南。由于地理位置優越，為歷來兵家必爭之地。兩 千多年前，為中國九州中心之豫州，故簡稱為豫。且有 "中州""中原"之稱。河南也是中華文明最重要的發 源地。全省總面積16.7萬平方公里，人口9820萬人，為 中國人口第一大省。國家提出促進中部崛起，河南獨特 的區位優勢必將發揮更大的作用。省會在鄭州，為三縱 四橫鐵路網中心。漢族人口佔99%。 With nearly 100 million people, it is the most populous province in China. It borders Hebei to the north, Shandong to the northeast, Anhui to the southeast, Hubei to the south, Shaanxi to the west, and Shanxi to the northwest. Henan is often called Zhongyuan, literally "central plains" or "midland". Henan is traditionally regarded as the cradle of Chinese civilization. The two cities Luoyang and Kaifeng each served as the capital city of a long list of dynasties. 99% of the population is Han ethnic Chinese, while Hui account for virtually all the remaining 1%.

每當中國內亂時期，群雄"逐鹿中原"，河南是必爭之 地。歷史上共有二十多個朝代建都於河南的安陽、洛陽 、及開封。洛陽的龍門石窟被列為世界文化遺產。 Henan is a relatively poor province, and an agricultural province, a leader of China's wheat and sesame production. Henan has more than its share of health problems, especially with hepatitis and AIDS. Henan is located in the Yellow River valley and in a place where people of ancient times grew and developed. Henan is one of the provinces that has the most historical relics in the country. There are 16 key national units of protecting historical relics.

河南夏季常有澇害，冬季和春季又常有旱災。當地農民 又因缺乏常識，有些農村有許多村民為肝炎帶原者或是 得到愛滋病，躲在家中足不出戶。 因為免收農業稅，使得偏遠地區地方收入驟減，又無第 三產業，配套資金來源有限。也曾有學校因無法籌措配 套資金，懸宕年餘，不能解決。幸得朱會長親自實地考 察，並代為向香港喜福基金會籌措不足資金，才得到足 夠的經費完成駐馬店市的一所學校。 欣欣教育基金會從二零零三年開始到二零零七年共興建 七所小學： 二零零三年開始在河南省興建三所小學、兩所於鞏義市 、一所於林州市。 二零零四年兩所，一所在駐馬店市、一所在周口市。 二零零七年兩所學校均位於愛滋病較多的駐馬店市。 Due to its poor economic condition, some areas cannot raise enough local matching funds as required by Shin Shin to complete the Shin Shin schools. Special fund raising activities and arrangements were made in the past by Shin Shin to ensure the completion of the school project. Shin Shin has built seven schools from 2003 to 2007, and two new schools scheduled to complete in 2007 are in Zhumadian city where AIDS is more prevalent.
