 TNT Kicks Off its “TNT Future Leader” Educational Aid Program

With investment from TNT, the ground was broken today for a Hope School in the earthquake-hit area of Guangyuan City in Sichuan Province. Carrying the hearts and well-wishes of nearly 17,000 employees at TNT China, the ‘TNT Future Leader’ Hope School will be completed by August this year to serve about 400 students. After the earthquake last year, TNT transported more than 2,300 tons of relief aid and provided a total of almost RMB 7 million in terms of donations and in-kind transportation services. As well as enabling the construction of the ‘TNT Future Leader’ Hope School, TNT’s Post-Disaster Educational Aid Program, in partnership with the China Youth Development Foundation, also includes setting up 30 ‘TNT Future Leader’ libraries and sponsoring 300 high-school students in Sichuan and Gansu province through ‘TNT Future Leader’ Scholarships.
