Huawei places a priority on giving back to the countries and regions in which we are involved by contributing to all aspects of development including the local economy, technology, sanitation, and disaster relief. The latter commitment was reflected in the telecommunications restoration work we carried out in 2008 following the snow storm in Southern China, the Sichuan earthquake, the Myanmar hurricane and the Algerian flood. Elsewhere our social programs saw us conduct activities in Europe, Africa and Asia aiming to help improve local educational and technological levels and aid vulnerable groups. We are committed to contributing to communities on a local level as well as fulfilling our responsibility as a good corporate citizen on a global scale.
