On May 26, employees of China Southern Power Grid and Lao volunteers went to the “Hand of Hope” Education Centre in the capital city of Vientiane, Laos to conduct a series of meaningful exchange activities together.
According to the principal of the education centre, Ms. Sophaphone Heuanglith, there are a total of 20 hearing-impaired children in the education centre, mostly aged between 6 and 12. These children face difficulties and challenges in their studies and lives. The employees of China Southern Power Grid and Lao volunteers had a friendly exchange with the children, understood their learning and living conditions, and brought them care and support
During the activity, the Chinese and Lao volunteers also gave art supplies to the children and encouraged them to bravely pursue their own dreams. The volunteers deeply realized that education is the key to changing the fate of these children.
Ms. Sophaphone Heuanglith said that the education centre has achieved good results in the cultivation of hearing-impaired children, but still needs more support from all walks of life. She sincerely thanked China Southern Power Grid for their support and contribution to the activities of the education centre.
This activity is the third stop of the “Light of Hope” Laos public welfare campaign. The series of activities were initiated by China Southern Power Grid Yunnan International Company, aiming to promote the development of public welfare in Laos and promote cultural exchanges between Laos and China. Since its launch on January 14, 2023, two activities have been carried out at the Sivilay Primary School and the Sikeut Special Education Vocational and Technical School, providing necessary materials and support for the schools. Follow-up efforts will continue to focus on the construction and development of the schools, helping them gradually improve and upgrade their teaching conditions.
One of the responsible persons for this activity, Ma Lin, a representative of China Southern Power Grid, said that he was very happy to carry out the activity with Lao volunteers. The campaign was named “Light of Hope”, hoping that this series of activities will become a meeting point for the transmission and convergence of love, unite all forces, and illuminate more people who need care and help.
It is reported that while carrying out cooperation projects in Laos, China Southern Power Grid focuses on serving the development of Laos’ society and improving people’s livelihoods. Through the implementation of projects such as the 230 kV Power Grid Project of Northern Laos and the External Power Supply Project of the Lao section of the China-Laos Railway, it has driven local employment, conducted skills training, and vigorously supported local education, donating teaching materials and making efforts for people’s livelihoods, reflecting the project spirit of “CSG Lights Up Every Household, Continues the friendship between China and Laos”. In the future, China Southern Power Grid is willing to deepen cooperation with Lao partners, inject power into Laos’ economic and social development through greener and more stable power supply, and jointly transmit love and serve the community with all sectors of society to light up the “thousands of households” in Laos with practical actions.
