Due to the backwardness of the local economy and the remoteness of the area, it is difficult for the children to come into contact with the most advanced and cutting-edge knowledge, and there is a relative lack of extracurricular books. Earthmother Public Welfare has been committed to education public welfare projects since 2016 and has funded and supported the "Junior Education Envoy" project, "Junior City Envoy" project, donated kindergarten construction, donated teaching computers and other public welfare undertakings.

After learning about the situation of Xiahe County Bola Town Central Primary School, Shanghai Earthmother Energy Saving Science & Tech Co., Ltd. joined hands with Jiaxing Municipal Library and Shanghai Baoyugang Experimental School Library to participate in the "Thousand Miles of Grass Helping School Plan" book donation activity.

The most important thing is that the fragrance of books can lead to far-reaching results. In this way, a good book inserts the wings of love, crosses thousands of mountains, travels 2170 kilometres, flies to the hands of the children in the Tibetan area, and brings them hope filled with the fragrance of books.

In this public welfare activity in Jiaxing City Library, Shanghai Baoyugang Experimental School Library donated the collection of new and old books, Earthmother public welfare from the company's collection of books to select the appropriate books, while calling on the staff of the Earthmother actively participated in the donation of action, and bear the love of the donation of all the freight costs.

The donation of more than 3,000 books, has been donated to the Xiahe County Bola Town Central Primary School Library through the Bianba Cang Temple. It is understood that the Xiahe County Bola Town Central Primary School Library is a modern library built by the Bianba Living Buddha organisation to raise funds, and named by the Bianba Living Buddha as "Persuasive Pavilion".

A book, a carrier of knowledge and ideas, is a symbol of the progress of human society. Reading books can help children enlighten their knowledge and broaden their horizons. We hope to support the long-term education of children in Tibetan areas, using books as a bridge to bring the light of knowledge and hope to the young ones.

Previous public service activities

The "Junior Education Envoy" project started in May 2018, which is a public welfare project initiated by the Sanguo Youth Development and Exchange Centre and supported by Earthmother. The project consists of mentors from the education sector in Shanghai and outstanding high school students from Shanghai, Beijing and other cities working together to accompany and help junior high school students in townships to learn English on a 1-to-1 basis. The project allows high school students in urban areas with high English proficiency to participate in public service and helps junior high school students in townships with relatively weak education to improve their English expression and reading and writing skills.

The "Junior City Envoy" project started in 2020, which is a public welfare project initiated by the Sanguo Youth Development and Exchange Centre and supported by Earthmother. At present, the project is actively cooperating with Changqiao Street Disabled Persons' Federation and Dong Li Feng Mei School. On the one hand, the student volunteers learn, collect and explain Shanghai stories to the public with the help of Sanguo's public service teachers. On the other hand, they will lead the partially sighted children, autistic children and children with developmental delays to learn about Shanghai and help them integrate into the community.
