POWERCHINA improves local lives in East and Southern Africa

On Dec 4, 2018, eight volunteers from the East and Southern Africa regional headquarters of Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) launched a voluntary activity to help students in Upper Kafue Gorge Primary School in Zambia.

The event was their way of celebrating the upcoming 33rd United Nations Volunteer Day.

Volunteers donated schoolbags and stationery to students, and offered construction materials to the school. They also organized a classroom activity themed "My Dream," teaching students to write and speak in Chinese. The activity was well received by the students.

Through this voluntary activity, the volunteers, local teachers, and students have deepened their understanding and friendship. The activity also showed the corporate social responsibility philosophy of POWERCHINA.

According to the volunteer association of POWERCHINA's East and Southern Africa regional headquarters, more activities of this kind will be organized to help local schools.
