In a heartwarming display of corporate social responsibility, construction and communication industry professionals have joined forces to provide much-needed technological resources to underprivileged university students. Nine brand-new, high-performance laptops were donated to students supported by the Yunlin County Family Support Center, addressing a critical need in the digital age.
The new laptop can allow me to have more time to prepare for my studies.
Many students from economically disadvantaged families view owning a new computer as an unattainable luxury. Previously, these students often had to rely on limited hours using library computers or borrowing devices from classmates to complete assignments and reports. This situation often put them at a disadvantage, requiring them to spend twice as much time on tasks that others could complete more efficiently.
The donation ceremony was presided over by Chen Canxun, chairman of the Yunlin County Family Support Center. Huang Kailing, chairman of Hongyi Construction, and Li Weishou, head of Taiwei Information, presented the laptops, each valued at nearly 30,000 New Taiwan Dollars. Students expressed their deep gratitude, noting how the new laptops would significantly alleviate the pressure of their studies.
Education is the root of transformation, especially in an era of smart technology where students need equipment to enhance their studies.
Huang Kailing highlighted his long-standing connection with the Family Support Center, having sponsored children since his own student days. He emphasized the fundamental role of education, especially in today's technology-driven world, where access to proper equipment can significantly enhance learning. Li Weishou further enhanced the donation by personally installing new office software on each laptop, ensuring students could use them immediately without additional costs or complications. The initiative hopes to inspire more businesses to contribute and help bridge the digital gap for students in need.
We hope to achieve a ripple effect, encouraging more companies to provide learning equipment for Family Support children together, using love to shorten the digital gap.
