On Aug. 22, 2024, to help left-behind children in rural areas-the lovely Kanglei kids - step out of the countryside, integrate into the city, experience and learn more knowledge beyond textbooks, broaden their horizons, and feel the power of technology and the warmth of the world, Furukawa Electric Xi'an Optical Communication Co., Ltd. , in collaboration with the Communist Youth League Committee of Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, and Shaanxi 029 Public Welfare Organization, jointly hosted the "Happy Summer · All with Love" Furukawa’s Public Welfare Study Tour Activity for Caring about the Kanglei Kids in the New School Season. The children from Lantian took visit at the enterprise to explore the mysteries of optical fibers; they also entered the Shaanxi Science and Technology Museum to experience the miracles of light and electricity.
The "Loving Mom's Canteen" under the Kanglei Project has been helping more than 300 left-behind children in difficult situations solve the problem of having meals for eight years. Meanwhile, it has carried out caring and assistance activities in many schools and established the "Second Classroom" to help the children fulfill their dreams.
On a snny morning, a group of children from the countryside embarked on a special journey with curiosity and anticipation. The children first arrived at Furukawa Electric Xi'an Optical Communication Co., Ltd. Here, they not only learned the basic knowledge of optical fibers but also witnessed the manufacturing process of optical fibers with their own eyes.
The longing and curiosity for technology sparkled in the children's eyes as they listened attentively to every detail.
The Party Branch of Furukawa and the company's volunteers distributed supplies to the left-behind children and the loving mothers.
After then, the volunteers took the children to the Shaanxi Science and Technology Museum.
The Shaanxi Science and Technology Museum, as the largest popular science education base in the northwest region of China, attracts the attention of countless teenagers with its unique exhibition contents and advanced technological facilities. It is not only an ocean of knowledge but also a cradle of dreams.
Here, the juvenile shuttled through the world of light and shadow, operated experiments with their own hands, and observed the refraction and reflection of light; in the electricity exhibition area, they learned about the generation, transmission and application of electricity. Through experiments such as simulated power generation and circuit connection, they gained a more intuitive understanding of electricity.
The "Kanglei Project", a public welfare project for caring about left-behind children in rural areas, has been carried out for eight years. Furukawa is the initiating company of the project, and in the past eight years, the Kang Lei Project as part of the company’s public welfare cause, has been like a brightly burning torch, illuminating more than 30,000 left-behind children in need of care and assistance. The company gave help and condolences to more than 10,000 families in difficult situations. From its initial budding to its current prosperity, each step has condensed the sweat and wisdom of the team. Each donation and each activity embodies the trust and expectation of society. As a caring enterprise, we have witnessed the power of love gathering into an ocean, and the love has crossed regions and boundaries, allowing warmth to be transmitted to every corner.
During these eight years, we have continuously innovated the public welfare model, striving to make each act of kindness accurately meet the needs and achieve the maximum social value. We are well aware that the path of public welfare ahead is long and arduous, and it is precisely this difficulty that makes each step forward especially precious.
In the future, we will continue to adhere to our mission, integrate public welfare undertakings into the enterprise's strategic planning, so that the enterprise can take more responsibilities for society while creating economic value.
