On June 11, Air Liquide China donated 30 recycled computers, books and other school supplies to Liugong Primary School in Tianfu New District of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Air Liquide China owns and operates two plants in this city, serving customers in manufacturing and electronics.

This is the sixth"Air Liquide Computer Classroom"that the company has supported to establish in China.

In addition, to broaden the horizon of the students, local volunteers from Air Liquide China will visit the school periodically to share knowledge on safety, science, environmental protection and other subjects.

Our donation will help to level the playing field and better prepare them for a bright future.
