In the CommunitySolarfun takes its role as a leader seriously, both in business and in the community. We are actively involved in improving the world around us, every day. We are proud to share some of our success stories with you.
Solarfun is proud to have supplied the solar system for a donation to the Shanghai Rehabilitation and Vocational Training Center. Sponsored by Walmart, this 3KW project will provide electricity for the Rehabilitation Foundation's lighting and daily energy requirements. The Shanghai Rehabilitation and Vocational Training Center for the Disabled is a state-run social welfare project. This center cares for disabled by providing medical rehabilitation, vocational training, and cultural activities. Solarfun is pleased to have played an important role in improving the lives of everyone at the Center.
We value the importance of education as key to the future of the world's youth. For this reason, Solarfun has established an annual Scholarship fund with Jiaotong University to reward excellent students and teachers. This 1 million RMB scholarship fund (approx. $130,000 USD), is distributed annually by university officials to selected students and teachers who demonstrate excellence in the sciences. In 2007, 30 students and 10 teachers were honored with the scholarship, which will provide funding for their further scientific studies.
August, 2007 Solarfun is offering financing for a new 12km road (approx 7.5 miles) to be built in Qidong, China. Qidong, home of over 2 million people, is a city in development and in need of infrastructure improvements. In order to help the city support their growth and give greater access to Shanghai, this road will link parts of rural Qidong with the highway to Shanghai. This infrastructure improvement will provide Qidong's rural citizens a stronger link to outside communities. |
