Before the Children’s Day, staff and volunteers of SM Chengdu Chenghua City Square came to Jingyan county, Leshan city, Sichuan province, to visit the first “Happy Home for Children” donated by SM China, and to carry out cultural, sports and entertainment activities with left-behind children.

It is reported that the Happy Home for Children was officially opened in Donglin town on September 19, 2018. It is the first Happy Home for Children in Leshan, creating a happy world integrating learning, reading, cultural and sports activities for more than 200 local left-behind children. During this trip, SM employees went to the Happy Home for Children with the winner of “2018 SM Child Star Award”. They brought books and elaborate gifts donated by employees of SM China, and children were happy with gifts. Adults built new shelves together, and children couldn’t wait to read and play with toys. The champion of child star performed his best show. Local left-behind children also showed their talents to visitors generously. Some children played table tennis with those uncles and aunts.

In the next five years, SM China plans to donate at least two Happy Homes for Children every year through CCTF, and a total of at least 10 Homes will be built. The targeted provinces and cities will cover Fujian, Suzhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shandong, Tianjin and other places. In June this year, the second Happy Home for Children will be opened in Nanping, Fujian province. After the completion of the Home, SM shopping malls will organize employees and volunteers from time to time to carry out various activities in Happy Home for Children. SM hopes to shorten the distance between children and the outside world with constant and long-term company, so that left-behind children can grow up happily through communication.
