This summer, in order to improve the reading status of rural children, GF Fund, together with Mantianxing Public Welfare, Guangdong Youth Development Foundation, Love Reading Public Welfare Foundation and other organizations, launched the 2022 Reading Marathon public welfare activity. As of August 31 2022, the number of participants in the activity exceeded 130,000, and over 150,000 yuan was donated. If we calculated at 20 yuan per book, a total of 7,687 books were donated to rural children in this activity.
Reading Marathon is a meaningful activity for individuals, schools, and families. On the one hand, it cultivates children's reading interest and reading habits in an interesting and recordable way, encourages children to read more books, and broadens their horizons, on the other hand, the accumulated reading time in exchange for donations can be used to support rural children’s reading promotion projects, so as to connect urban and rural children, encourage more people to invest more resources to improve rural children's reading conditions.
In the reading marathon in 2022, GF Fund not only acted as a sponsor to provide donations for this public welfare reading event, but also mobilized the company's employees and their families to actively participate in the event.
As a professional asset management institution, GF Fund combines its expertise in the field of wealth management to select and recommend financial and business related books suitable for children of different ages to help them establish a correct concept of wealth. The donation from this event will be used to set up public welfare libraries in rural schools, provide high-quality books and improve the reading environment and resources for rural children.
GF Fund also integrates its attention on the growth of teenagers and children into its daily business development. Combining its own professional advantages, it carefully creates exclusive wealth management accounts for families with children, and investment advisory products that are intelligently matched according to children’s age. It also holds financial summer camp activities, wealth management related lectures, financial and business courses for children with different ages.
GF Fund believe reading is beneficial for children's growth, and it is one of the most convenient ways to shorten the educational gap between urban and rural children. The reading marathon public welfare activity allows children to freely explore and shape themselves in the world of books. GF Fund hopes that more rural children can pursue a better future and realize their dreams.
