KGI SITE, a subsidiary of CDF, is committed to providing high-quality financial services and has adopted “Committed to Your Prosperity” as its brand declaration. Recently, Ann Chang, President of KGI SITE, led her colleagues to volunteer at a rural elementary school, serving lunch, donating nutrition funds, and sharing mealtime with students and teachers from Bitou and Hemei Elementary Schools in Ruifang District, New Taipei City. Through these practical actions, KGI SITE fulfilled its corporate social responsibility.
Angelo Koo, the chairman of the China Development Foundation, has long been concerned about rural school children. For 18 consecutive years, China Development Foundation has been promoting the “Nutrition 100” program, providing long-term subsidies to add nutritious food to students’ meals in remote areas. They also collaborate with colleagues to visit rural elementary schools and hold “Lunch Date” volunteer activities, demonstrating their concern for students in remote areas.
On the eve of Halloween, KGI SITE designed a delicious and nutritious Halloween feast, consisting of a super beef burger accompanied by fried chicken, vegetables, mango cheese, and fruit. This allowed the students to enjoy a hearty meal.
Principal Li of Bitou Elementary School stated that the “Lunch Date” event is exceptional as it allows children to choose their own meal from wishful menus, such as beef burgers and fried chicken, which excites them to the extent that they are unable to sleep the night before. Colleagues from KGI SITE shed their serious financial attire and transformed into “Hamburger Uncle” and “Fried Chicken Sister,” showcasing their culinary skills to fulfill the dreams of rural teachers and students. Even the invited guests, including teachers and students from Hemei Elementary School and police officers from neighboring police stations who dine at the school, experienced the festive atmosphere.
Ann Chang, who has photography as a hobby, captured every exciting moment of the event using a professional camera. Ann stated that KGI SITE cherishes the chance to visit rural schools and interact with children. Through volunteering with colleagues, they not only strengthen team spirit but also create happy memories with the students. It is a rare and valuable experience.
CDF is committed to promoting social inclusion through its “Nutrition 100” project and “Lunch Date” volunteer initiative, continuously delivering love to remote areas and improving the lives of schoolchildren, helping them grow up healthy and happy.
‘SWASTICAR’: Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s close association with Donald Trump has prompted opponents to brand him a ‘Nazi’ and resulted in a dramatic drop in sales Demonstrators descended on Tesla Inc dealerships across the US, and in Europe and Canada on Saturday to protest company chief Elon Musk, who has amassed extraordinary power as a top adviser to US President Donald Trump. Waving signs with messages such as “Musk is stealing our money” and “Reclaim our country,” the protests largely took place peacefully following fiery episodes of vandalism on Tesla vehicles, dealerships and other facilities in recent weeks that US officials have denounced as terrorism. Hundreds rallied on Saturday outside the Tesla dealership in Manhattan. Some blasted Musk, the world’s richest man, while others demanded the shuttering of his
Taiwan’s official purchasing managers’ index (PMI) last month rose 0.2 percentage points to 54.2, in a second consecutive month of expansion, thanks to front-loading demand intended to avoid potential US tariff hikes, the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday. While short-term demand appeared robust, uncertainties rose due to US President Donald Trump’s unpredictable trade policy, CIER president Lien Hsien-ming (連賢明) told a news conference in Taipei. Taiwan’s economy this year would be characterized by high-level fluctuations and the volatility would be wilder than most expect, Lien said Demand for electronics, particularly semiconductors, continues to benefit from US technology giants’ effort
ADVERSARIES: The new list includes 11 entities in China and one in Taiwan, which is a local branch of Chinese cloud computing firm Inspur Group The US added dozens of entities to a trade blacklist on Tuesday, the US Department of Commerce said, in part to disrupt Beijing’s artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing capabilities. The action affects 80 entities from countries including China, the United Arab Emirates and Iran, with the commerce department citing their “activities contrary to US national security and foreign policy.” Those added to the “entity list” are restricted from obtaining US items and technologies without government authorization. “We will not allow adversaries to exploit American technology to bolster their own militaries and threaten American lives,” US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said. The entities
Minister of Finance Chuang Tsui-yun (莊翠雲) yesterday told lawmakers that she “would not speculate,” but a “response plan” has been prepared in case Taiwan is targeted by US President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, which are to be announced on Wednesday next week. The Trump administration, including US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, has said that much of the proposed reciprocal tariffs would focus on the 15 countries that have the highest trade surpluses with the US. Bessent has referred to those countries as the “dirty 15,” but has not named them. Last year, Taiwan’s US$73.9 billion trade surplus with the US
