2024 Gaochun and Jurong Autumn Public Welfare Education Tour
In the golden September, osmanthus blossoms are fragrant. In this season full of harvest and hope, the Foster Public Welfare Team sets off again, carrying enthusiasm and love, and enters Jurong City and Gaochun District in Jiangsu Province, bringing warmth and support to those children who are still persevering despite facing difficulties.
In this autumn student aid campaign, we visited schools such as Maoshan Central Primary School, Gaochun Friendship Primary School, Qiqiao Middle School, Jiangsu Gaochun Senior High School, and Chunhui Middle School in Jurong City, and personally handed over the scholarship to impoverished students and their parents. Our goal is to encourage these children to strive for excellence, love learning, bravely stand up in the face of life challenges, and move forward with hope and vision for the future.
FORCITS Public Welfare Road
Since 2013, Foster Company has formulated the "Measures for the Disposal of Foster Gift Gifts" to maintain the company's independent third-party position and the trust of customers in us. All gifts that cannot be returned are auctioned internally within the company, and the proceeds are all included in the public welfare fund to support education and social welfare activities, such as scholarships, book donations, etc. This approach not only enhances the cohesion among employees, but also encourages everyone to actively participate in public welfare activities.
Since 2014, Foster has been associated with Ruoshui Public Welfare, working together to help children in impoverished areas complete their education. Over the years, we have subsidized students from many regions, including Tianshui Weekly Primary School in Gansu Province, primary school students from Shigatse in Xizang, and poor students from Ganzi in Sichuan Province. So far, the earliest group of children who have received assistance have successfully graduated from the college entrance examination and achieved excellent results, which makes us feel gratified.

Entering Jurong
At Maoshan Central Primary School in Jurong City, sixth grade student Xuanxuan (pseudonym) touched our heartstrings. She has been dependent on her grandparents since childhood, and as a left behind child, her story is full of hardships.
Through an article published in "Maoshan Wa", we can glimpse the sensible and delicate emotional world of this little girl: "During the holiday, my long lost father came home and took me to the nearby convenience store for shopping. As soon as I walked in, I saw a cute little bear scarf, blue and fluffy. I thought to myself, if it could be worn on me, I would love to wear it. I caressed the blue plush and felt reluctant to part. My father saw my thoughts and asked me if I liked it, but I said no. So after shopping, we went home." For various reasons, Xuanxuan dared not tell her father what she liked, but when her father silently bought back the scarf, this accident happened. The gift not only brought joy to Xuanxuan, but also made her feel the long-awaited family warmth. At that moment, there was a glimmer of happiness in her tears, a revisiting of her long lost fatherly love and the beginning of infinite longing for the future.

Entering Gaochun
We arrived at Gaochun Friendship Primary School, and there was a special little girl who made us feel very worried.
Miaomiao (pseudonym)'s mother has a congenital intellectual disability, and her father is older and lacks the energy and financial resources to support her. Only her strong willed grandparents always take care of her and take good care of her. However, the young heart was ultimately traumatized by the misfortune of her original family. At the age of only 10, Miaomiao suffered from depression and lost her childhood smile. From her eyes, we see the self isolation and fear of the future brought about by family misfortune. Miaomiao's homeroom teacher is also very concerned about her situation and hopes that more caring people can help this young heart. We lightly tap her shoulders to help her relax and encourage her to fully devote herself to her studies without too much mental burden. Enabling every child to grow up healthy and happy is the greatest kindness of educational assistance.
What moved us the most was that the children also specially prepared thank-you letters. Student representative Lei Lei (pseudonym) read aloud with his loud voice, every word filled with sincere emotions. One of the sentences, 'In the future, we must also become people like you who use positive energy to convey human warmth and give back to society through actions!' deeply touched the hearts of every participant. At this moment, we know clearly that the goodwill of sowing has begun to take root and sprout……
Each child has their own unique story behind them. They may be bearing the heavy pressure of their original family, but they carry a longing for the blue sky in their hearts, dreaming of one day being able to soar freely. Foster is well aware of the power of education and the responsibility he shoulders. We will continue to support these children in need with practical actions, helping them overcome current difficulties and move towards a brighter future.
Here, we also sincerely invite more caring individuals to join the public welfare team of Foster, to witness how children transform and grow in adversity, and ultimately shine with their own light. Let us join hands and contribute to building a better society!
May every child be treated gently by the world, and every dream blossom and bear fruit.
