On August 22, 2022 (Monday), Powerchina Fujian Engineering Co., Ltd. Team jointly planned a charity event program. Prior to the event, the Fujian team conducted in-person interviews with the teachers and staff at the recipient school to learn more about the plight of the student, particularly on rainy days. The majority of kids are from extremely low-income families and cannot afford to purchase necessities during the wet season.

The charity event was held in Katangkas Elementary School located in Brgy. Katangkas, Municipality of Dumanjug a province in Cebu, the school has seven (7) classrooms with 10 to 15 students per room, they cater kindergarten up to grade 6. During the event, a Fujian representative speaks in front of the students and shares advice, words of wisdom, and encouragement. Afterward, Fujian representatives started distributing school supplies which includes notebooks, papers, a pack of pencils, and other materials for their studies, and some tokens to the school staff. 

By witnessing the smiles on the students’ faces as they accept a simple present, we find it difficult to fully describe our feeling. They have a much higher chance of a brighter future if we help them engage in school. Doing little things can sometimes mean far more than receiving a wonderful gift. A child’s smile is what we consider to be the most gorgeous thing in the world. Knowing that you are the cause of it is the next best thing.
