Social Responsibilities
GEA takes up the charity idea of "active commitment to social responsibilities, focus on people's livelihood and repaying the society". On our 5th anniversary, we launched GEA “Giving” series of charitable activities in 2014.
In the remote areas and poverty stricken rural areas in China, there are some children who are deprived of schooling or have to walk a long distance to school. People’s attention and concern for them will mean a lot to them.
As a leading educational outreach organization in the industry, GEA always endeavours to spread love with the power of charity and has a responsibility to seek happiness for students. In the future charity activities, GEA will continue to promote the development of social welfare for youth in China and to make greater contributions to education and culture in remote and poverty stricken areas so that every child in need of help can be healthy and have a bright future! We hope that our ongoing charitable work can get more businesses and individuals to care and to pay attention to education and philanthropy.
The 1st Ride For The Children- Cycling Around Qinghai Lake
As the first session of GEA “Giving” series, “Ride for the Children” was launched in Xihai Town, Qinghai Province on July 2, 2014. We tried our best to raise education funds for children in remote areas by cycling around the Qinghai Lake in a low-carbon green way. All of the riders wearing an orange T-shirt rode around the Lake. We travelled more than 360 kilometers, which lasted four days. All proceeds of the event were donated to “Sowers Action” which is one of the famous non-profit-making charitable organizations in Hong Kong.
The 2nd Ride For The Children- The Reconstruction Project in Licaiyuan Primary School
Our public benefit activities have never stopped helping children of impoverished areas to go to school. The fund raising event, GEA Giving 2014 – Ride for The Children, cycling around Qinghai Lake was a big success, through which we witnessed the power of love and public service. In 2015, we continue to spread our love and restart the cycling. Different from last year, the theme of GEA Giving 2015 is Drawing a Picture of a Beautiful Campus. Money is raised for the Licaiyuan Primary School in Jiazhai Town, Shangqiu City, Henan Province to help them renovate the school buildings and to give them strength and hope.
The 3rd Ride For The Children- Inflame Passion For Pro Bono Cultural Undertaking, Continue the Cycling Journey
Every culture has its own distinctive charm. Civilization which flourished should not decline easily. The 3rd GEA Giving event - cycling to raise funds for the reconstruction project of the book centre in Tangkou Old Market – will be launched in Huangpu Village, Haizhu District, a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangzhou on 06 August 2016. The cycling will take 3 days and 2 nights, covering 148 kilometres, and will end in Tangkou Old Market of Tangkou Town, Kaiping City, which is also a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong Province. The funds will be spent on building a community cultural centre there. It will not only provide the local elderly and children with a platform for daily reading and handicraft display, but also open a door for the world to understand the culture of the hometown of overseas Chinese.
The Ancient Tea Horse Route Expedition
Organized by Sowers Action, a non-profit-making charitable organization committed to promote education aid in rural China, the 2015 Ancient Tea Horse Route Expedition Kick-off Carnival was held on 26th October 2014. The Ancient Tea Horse Route Expedition was participated by more than one hundred kind-hearted people. They started from Hong Kong, and hike to the destinations to raise money for the education of children in remoted areas in China. Staff of GEA HK branch applied to be volunteers for the activity with intensive passion. Even though we didn’t hike as we mainly serve our help to the participators by the boothes during the activity, we wished to do our bite through different way.
