Voluntary activities in village bring safety to power users

"Can we use a wet cloth to wipe a lamp? For fire evacuation, should we take the elevator or use the stairs?"    

At the entrance of the supermarket, a class on safe electricity usage is taking place. To further promote the safety of electricity concept in rural areas, young volunteers from the Suqian Power Supply Co of State Grid arrived at a supermarket in Luxu village of Suqian, Jiangsu province.

Unlike previous times, volunteers involved in the electricity safety promotion this time included not only staff, but also a group of enthusiastic university students.

"This is my first time participating in volunteer activities. I not only learned electricity and fire safety knowledge with the villagers, but also experienced interesting folk customs of the village," said Pan Yan, a university student, adding that this practical activity has given her a different perspective on safety.

"I just answered two questions correctly and got this little doll. It made me so happy!” said 11-year-old villager Li Chuyang after participating in the event.

“We hope to provide villagers, especially children, with useful knowledge of electricity and fire safety, and cultivate the enthusiasm of young people for public welfare,” said Li Jietai, an employee at State Grid Suqian Power Supply Co.

“We also brought some Chinese New Year gifts for the villagers, and wish that everyone has a peaceful and joyful Spring Festival.”
