This year, Parkview Green Beijing and the China Next Generation Education Foundation initiated the "Green Future, Green Love Charity Activity" on May 31 with the aim of raising enough money to provide 10,000 lamps to students in Rangtang county, in the west of Sichuan.

More than 8,000 students are studying at 53 elementary schools in the county. They typically face power outages for nearly 70 days a year. Some of the outages can last for up to half a year.

Oliver Lai, the general manager of Parkview Green Fangcaodi, says Parkview Green is always donating to charity, but it realizes that one entity cannot do everything, and that the whole of society has to get involved.

"So, we hope, more people can join us to help the young generation, and give them a better environment to grow up in," says Lai.

"Rangtang is about 550 km from Chengdu. There is a lot of sunshine, but the children there also need more light," says Lai.
