In this blog, I am going to talk about corporate global citizenship. As we all know, Some large companies already start to take responsibility to help solve global issue as a global citizen.
In this blog I would like to talk about Microsoft. as we all know, Microsoft is one of the largest electronic companies in the world. Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Until today it already have 113 subsidiaries around the world with about 99000 full-time employees in more than 100 counties supported millions of job.
Microsoft have many project try to help in global issue. Such as Microsoft YouthSpark
Technology for， Good Employee giving ， Humanitarian Response
Microsoft YouthSpark is to give opportunities for more than 300 million youth around the world so that they can have a better and brighter future. YouthSpark grants aim to help youth learn new knowledge and technical skills all around the world. According to the Microsoft, 186 no-for-profit organisations in 62 countries were awarded with grants to help youth. Secondly, YouthSpark helps youth with skills and creative ideas pursue their dreams and careers when they graduate from universities. Its ‘Give for Youth’ website has successfully raised more than $1.4 million and helped over 600 projects around the world since 2012. Also, it encourages youth to have innovations and entrepreneurship via the BizSpark program. Till now, this program has helped more than 30000 young entrepreneurs start their new businesses in over 100 countries.
I used to participate in an activity of Mircosoft in China when I graduated from high school. It was to be a 2 weeks volunteer teacher for primary school student in a little poverty village. Students are from 7-12 year old. In that village, there even don't have light and TV. From my city to got there take us 6 hours train, 3 hours bus and 2 hours carriage. When we got there we are so exhausted. You know most of us are just 18 years old. But that experience makes me benefit a lot. The people maybe are really poor there but they live peacefully with the nature. No air and water pollution and don't have to worry about food safety.
The reason why I want to talk about this is Big companies like Microsoft holding this actives are not only helping the poor kids but also education the people who live in the big city have a fancy life. That can makes more and more people start to pay attention on helping other to make the world better.
