Children at the Hope School in Ya'an attend a Mercedes-Benz MobileKids Road Safety Education class. Demonstrating its social responsibility slogan that "Nurturing the World of Tomorrow", late last year Mercedes-Benz sent more than 150 Star Ambassadors led by company executives to Ya'an, a city weathering the aftermath of an earthquake that struck in April.
The Star Ambassadors team included representatives of dealers from across the country, employees Camiseta Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid , Mercedes-Benz customers, NGO partners, the public, celebrities and the media.
The initiative from Dec 23 to 25 was Mercedes-Benz's largest outreach effort since the establishment of its Star Fund in 2010.
Following an initial donation of 20 million yuan ($3.2 million) to Ya'an during the Shanghai auto show in April, Mercedes-Benz investigated and decided to assist four programs in partnership with well-established foundations and organizations.
Nine million yuan was allocated to rebuilding Shiyang No 1 Central Primary School in Tianquan county.
It will be reconstructed to be a Hope School in the name of Mercedes-Benz.
When completed, it will have classrooms and facilities for not only traditional courses Camiseta Nacho Fernandez Real Madrid , but also for music, sports and even a kitchen to provide a better environment for around 1,300 students.
"This is the first Hope Primary School that started reconstruction after the Ya'an earthquake," said Tu Meng, general secretary of China Youth Development Foundation."It is also the school that has received the largest donation since China's Project Hope began 24 years ago."
To help with medical services in affected areas, Mercedes-Benz donated 6 million yuan to build four township hospitals in cooperation with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation.
The township hospitals Camiseta Raphael Varane Real Madrid , medical facilities and qualified staff can provide medical assistance to 40,000 people.
Mercedes-Benz will donate another 3 million yuan to support renovation and expansion projects at the Bifengxia and Dujiangyan panda centers, marking a new phase in cooperation between the German auto icon and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
It will also donate 2 million yuan to the 2013 Ya'an Earthquake Relief Program initiated by UNESCO, which is designed to help build eco-friendly pilot villages in World Heritage Sites across Ya'an, a major sanctuary of the giant panda.
The projects by the Mercedes-Benz Star Fund are scheduled for completion by the end of 2015.
During their recent three-day trip, Star Ambassadors brought greetings to villagers and provided first-aid medical training at the temporary site of Daxi township hospital.
In Shiyang No 1 Central Primary School's temporary classrooms Camiseta Sergio Ramos Real Madrid , volunteers taught lessons to 23 classes and also gave students gifts.
Surrounded by emerald bamboo, Mercedes-Benz announced it would adopt another two giant pandas, Xingya and Xingan.
Twin panda brothers -Xinghui and Xingrui-were adopted by the carmaker in 2009.
Mercedes-Benz has now donated more than 13 million yuan for the protection of giant pandas in line with its avowed mission of "promoting environmental protection and the harmonious development of humans, automobiles and society".
With support from Mercedes-Benz and other social forces, Ya'an residents will also be helped to rebuild their homeland and have better life in the near future, said the company.
High aspirations
In 2013 Camiseta Jesus Vallejo Real Madrid , Mercedes-Benz not only carried out its CSR actively with its own efforts, but also encouraged dealers to get car owners involved in CSR constructions. Through the joint efforts of diversified groups and all kinds of resources, Mercedes-Benz brought its CSR constructions cause up to a new level.
In May, it began the "Project Hope Youth Growth Program" together with the China Youth Development Foundation to give long-term assistance to China's younger generation, especially in rural areas.
It will invite pupils from Hope Primary Schools to participate in traffic safety, music Camiseta Dani Carvajal Real Madrid , sports and art programs and "build their positive outlook on life and the spirit of high aspirations", said the automaker.
A second MobileKids Road Safety Education Star Base, a major part of the program, was established in Shanghai's Eday town.
One of the two classrooms in the MobileKids program, it shows children how to deal with complicated and ever-changing daily traffic situations through creative work and role playing.
The program has also been introduced to nearly 30 primary schools with its courses now a part of the curriculum.
In the next two years, the courses will expand to 170 primary schools in Beijing Camiseta Iker Casillas Real Madrid , Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
The project is expected to benefit more than 70,000 pupils.
The other key course is the Happy Music Classroom, the first jointly administered project between Mercedes-Benz and the China Youth Development Foundation following the establishment of the Star Fund.
By last September, 400 music classrooms had been built, offering opportunities to more than 100 Camiseta Keylor Navas Real Madrid ,000 underprivileged children.
In another effort, Mercedes-Benz took nearly 100 students from the Zhangjiakou Hope Happy Music Classroom in Hebei province to watch tennis greats compete in the China Open.
