E. SUN Golden Seeds Project
Children hold the future of every nation. Allowing them to grow up and learn happily must be a wish shared by every one of us. In September 2007, the E. SUN Volunteer Foundation conducted interviews with principals of primary schools in Yunlin, Chiayi and Pingtung to get a better idea how schoolchildren in those remote areas were doing. After lengthy discussions, some sort of consensus took shape: to enhance their reading competence is of utmost urgency. Most principals agreed that the key lies in enabling children to nurture the willingness and desire to read. That is, schools must put in place an environment conducive to reading. Being equipped with a decent library hence tops the list of their wishes.
“Books are the nutrient of the whole world. A life without books is like a life without sunlight; wisdom without books is like a wingless bird,” Shakespeare says. The cultivation of reading as a lifetime habit is invariably an investment that takes as long. Perseverance in ushering children to the path of reading is really laying a solid foundation for all the education ahead of them. With that in mind, the E. SUN Volunteer Foundation initiated the
“E. SUN Golden Seeds Project” in the fourth quarter of 2007. Since 2008, E. SUN has invited customers who hold its World Card to join the cause—to equip those faraway and poorly appointed primary schools with a library of their own. After all, children in the hinterland deserve a chance to read as much as their counterparts in big cities.
