Li donates on behalf of Yuchai

At the ceremony, Li, on behalf of Yuchai, handed a plaque representing a donation of RMB 150,000 to the representative of the municipal womens federation. 51 Spring Bud girls from different counties and districts of Yulin, on behalf of 500 Spring Bud girls, received the money and supplies from Yuchai.

In the future, we will proceed with the Spring Bud Program to make spring buds blossom with our love, said Li in a speech, adding Yuchai has always attached great importance to the Spring Bud Program and has received positive response from all leaders and staff since its launch in 2006, now, it has become a public benefit activity with the extensive participation of Yuchais leaders and staff and a platform for them to offer love for the society. Hopefully, supported students will bear correct study attitude, master study methods, carry forward pioneering spirit, overcome difficulties, study hard, be inquisitive, live up to donators expectations, repay the society with outstanding academic results and shape their lives with good morality.

Yang said, Yuchai has financed 3,865 Spring bud girls in Yulin over the six years, showing Yuchai offers love, spreads love and bear social responsibility. Yuchais love action will set a good example in the city and arouse more people to join the love cause to help more girls.

Meng said, the donation shows Yuchai performs social responsibility by actual deeds to reduce the burden of the government. Yuchai is not only quality-oriented, but also responsible; Yuchai belongs not only to its staff, but also to everyone, to Yulins people, to the society and to the nation.

Chen Meirong from Dali No. 1 High School, Beiliu, spoke on behalf of Spring Bud girls, I have been longing for a university, but felt my future is dim in the face of poverty. It was Yuchais uncles and aunts that offered hands to create a favorable study environment for me. We are unfortunate, but are fortunate to have met them.

Also, a Hand in Hand paring activity between Yuchai staff and supported students was launched at the conference. 51 staff members and representatives of 51 Spring Bud girls concluded support agreements, laying the groundwork for future direct contact between donators and recipients.

The faces of the supported girls brimmed with smiles. On the occasion of Yuchais 60th anniversary, they also brought birthday gifts to Yuchai mother: 51 Spring Bud girls recited a poem in chorus to thank Yuchai for their permanent support and wish Yuchai a brighter future. 

Before the ceremony, Yuchai organized the 51 Spring Bud girls to visit the exhibition hall for Yuchais 60th anniversary. The girls observed engines joyfully and curiously and touch them every now and then. In front of a high rotary drilling rig exhibited by Yuchai Heavy Industry Company Limited, two girls jumped to match the machine.
