As we wrote in our earlier blog post, Sony Ericsson China invited 10 students from the Sony Ericsson Hope Schools to visit Beijing and participate in the Beijing Marathon.
At 9 o’clock in the morning on the day of the Marathon, the ten students and Sony Ericsson employees including Magnus Ahlqvist, President of Sony Ericsson Greater China, set off in the race. Many Sony Ericsson employees had gathered to cheer for the runners and held up banners for them on both sides of the road.
We would like to congratulate all of the students and the Sony Ericsson employees who participated in the race on finishing their target routes successfully. And we would also like to thank all of the people who helped them to do so by cheering them on.
For their Beijing visit, the students were invited to stay with Sony Ericsson employees to experience ‘city life’. Organized visits to some of the key sights in Beijing were also arranged. To promote the importance of education, the students visited Beijing University and Tsinghua University. They also visited the Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
In the past several years, Sony Ericsson has worked to promote the development of charity in China. Going forward, Sony Ericsson will continue this work through various activities, always with the special Sony Ericsson touch: Innovative and energetic!
