30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2007 / 1428: September 13 - October 12
Chinese government statistics show that the Dongxiang are among the poorest and least literate of China’s 56 ethnic minorities. Many of them have only had slightly over one year of schooling. Most Dongxiang children find it difficult to learn Chinese. Some international aide agencies have been spurred to act in collaboration with the Chinese government to begin bringing a solution to this problem.
The Dongxiang's "three treasures", apricots, melons and other fruits, enjoy good reputation throughout China. There are possibly 200 Christians among the Dongxiang, however most of them are not organised in house groups or churches. There are village mosques and Muslim burial vaults and at the center of Islam in China, the Dongxiang has a reputation for being particularly devout.
