Chinese President Hu Jintao met with domestic and foreign charitarians and groups on Friday morning, ahead of a ceremony to honor their contribution.

About 227 individuals, 188 enterprises and 32 organizations received the awards at the Second China Charity Conference, hosted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, as an apparent gesture to address the country's charity affairs.

For the devastating May 12 earthquake, Chinese and foreign donors contributed about 76.2 billion yuan (11 billion U.S. dollars) for relief and rehabilitation.

The first conference was held in 2005.
