5. About the organization Knot of Warmth, is a student-led community charity project in Beijing. The project was first founded in 2025 by sisters Cao Xinyu (Monica) and Riley M. Thomas to support the 珍爱孤独症儿童康复中心 Cherish Autistic Rehab Centre in Tongzhou. In its first year, it raised over 16,675 RMB, which was used to purchase rice, flour, and oil for the autistic children.
In 2026, the project expanded with more students involved and a bigger vision, growing into a wider student-led community initiative. The name Knot of Warmth was chosen to reflect this purpose. A knot symbolises connection, unity, and something lasting, while warmth represents care, kindness, and support. Together, the name expresses the project’s aim to build meaningful and lasting connections through acts of compassion.
