National airlines are actively participating in public welfare activities. EVA Air launched the "Let Me Fly With You - Children's Early Intervention Support Program" in 2023. EVA Air announced in a press release today that it is collaborating with the House of Sharing Foundation and the Sunshine Social Welfare Foundation, donating a total of NT$2.2 million through corporate contributions, and has also rallied employees for charitable donations, reaching a record high of NT$797,279.

EVA Air President Sun Chia-ming stated that the value of a corporation lies not only in providing quality services but also in the positive impact it creates for society. In the future, the company will continue to combine the strength of the corporation and its employees, working with public welfare partners to create more possibilities for children.

EVA Air also announced that this year it will donate funds for the procurement of one early intervention service vehicle each to the two foundations, provide subsidies for the purchase of teaching aids to the House of Sharing Foundation, and subsidize the renovation of early intervention classrooms for the Sunshine Social Welfare Foundation. Through public service announcements, social media advocacy, corporate volunteer services, and children's visits, the company will continue to raise public awareness of early childhood intervention issues.

China Airlines has recently been visiting schools. China Airlines announced in a press release today that it will commence a series of volunteer teaching activities in June. A team of caring instructors composed of active China Airlines pilots and flight attendants will visit elementary schools. On June 23rd, they visited Baíji Elementary School in Taoyuan City as the first stop, guiding children to explore the world of aviation through lively and engaging interactive courses.

China Airlines stated that it regularly visits local schools to provide volunteer services, benefiting over a thousand students annually. By sharing aviation knowledge and providing basic English instruction, they aim to help students broaden their international horizons and inspire a spirit of proactive learning.

China Airlines explained that the courses are specifically designed for elementary school students, covering topics from the work scenarios of pilots and flight attendants, pre-flight preparations, in-flight missions, to basic flight safety concepts. Using fun and easy-to-understand self-made teaching materials combined with gamified Q&A sessions, they guide children to gradually understand the aviation industry and deepen their interest in learning.

China Airlines indicated that the volunteer team will subsequently visit Xihai Elementary School, Zhuwei Elementary School, Guolin Elementary School, and Shanfeng Elementary School in Taoyuan City to conduct aviation education courses, continuing to bring aviation knowledge and dreams of flight into schools.
