On September 22, 2026, our Esen Wood team returned to Shouguang Special Education School — one year after our first visit — to complete this year's charity donation, joined by many colleagues taking part for the first time. Delivering boxes of supplies felt like a small gesture, until we stood beside the children. What we found was not sadness, but clear eyes, bright smiles, and young people working hard to live and grow. The simplest joys gave us the most honest sense of fulfilment.
