Siemens Home Appliances pledges 1.5 million yuan donation

Roland Gerke was relieved to meet He Yueyou again, after four years, in Lijiang, Yunnan province.

When the chief executive officer and president of Siemens Home Appliances (China) Co presented a schoolbag to 6-year-old He as a gift to celebrate the local Naxi boy entering primary school, his eyes were full of the love of a grandfather.

"When I paid a visit to He's family four years ago, he was a little toddler whose mother we supported during her pregnancy," said Gerke. "His development reminded me that we had insisted on maintaining this program for a fifth consecutive year. Time flies."
