XI'AN, China, Sept. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyPeople
Fruit Juice, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPU) ("SkyPeople" or "the Company"), a
producer of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and
other fruit-related products, today announced that on September 9, 2016, Hedetang Scholarship Fund,
created by SkyPeople's fruit juice division, Hedetang Group,
donated funds to the Central Primary School at Zhonghe Town,
Yongren Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan
Province.
"We take our corporate social responsibilities very seriously
and are pleased that we could help the students of Yunnan Province persevere with their education
through challenging conditions," said Hongke Xue , Chief Executive
Officer of SkyPeople. "Our scholarship program is helping to build
the generations of tomorrow and contributing to both individual and
societal success by emphasizing education, responsibility and
achievement."
Recently, torrential rain triggered flooding in Yunnan Province which destroyed the roads in
and around Zhonghe Town, Yongren Yi Autonomous County, and hindered
local children from attending school. The senior management of
Hedetang Group pledged to realize "zero dropouts from school" by
engaging in an extensive out-reach program where they travelled to
local families with the timely delivery of Hedetang Scholarships
for local children.
Hedetang Group has been dedicated to donating to education in
the mountain area of Yunnan
Province and has established a specific scholarship fund
which has awarded or aided honor teachers, honor students and
students in poverty. As of September
2016, Hedetang Group has donated RMB
118,300 to the scholarship fund which has been awarded to 62
honor teachers, 161 honor students and aided 125 students in
poverty.
Hongke Xue , Chief Executive Officer of SkyPeople, continued,
"The donation initiative of the Hedetang Group provides real
benefits to local students. On the one hand, it enables more
talented students to study in better conditions, complete their
school education smoothly, and grow up healthily in society to
achieve their goals. On the other hand, it solves the problems
of students in poverty so that they can devote all their attention
to school study and complete their primary school education."
The Company finds it encouraging that the first group of
students awarded or aided in 2010 mostly completed their college
entrance exam and were admitted by colleges. Hedetang Group will
continue to be dedicated to supporting education in the mountain
area and with the continued growth of the Company, will support
more local students to achieve their life goals and dreams.
"We are proud of Hedtang Group's efforts and are committed to
helping to build the local community by helping children to
overcome poverty and achieve success," concluded Chief Executive
Officer Hongke Xue of SkyPeople.
