JOHANNESBURG, June 1 (Xinhua) -- As part of International Children's Day celebrations, Chinese electronics giant Hisense on Sunday donated essential home appliances to the community of Tembisa in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The donation included much-needed equipment to support Umthambeka Primary School's daily operations and improve learning conditions for the children. Hisense also used the opportunity to educate them about the importance of using electricity safely at home and in school.
Phuthi Jerry Mohlake, acting principal of Umthambeka Primary School, said the donations and safety drive would be a great help. "I think it is going to help them when the teachers are teaching electricity awareness in class."
"This campaign reflects our commitment to building an Africa for Africa by addressing real challenges with local solutions," said Wang Han, service and quality director at Hisense.
The initiative highlights Hisense's commitment to giving back to communities and supporting education in South Africa.
According to Luna Norje, deputy general manager of Hisense South Africa, the company's service center is located about six kilometers from Tembisa. "So as a brand, we care about our neighborhood. We care about the communities in which we operate," she said.
