Bringing Youth to the World Expo
Before Amway decided on a sponsorship of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, it was looking for a way to get youth involved.
In a innovative partnership with the World Expo organizers, Amway China announced that it will provide support for 150 teenagers to attend, with a focus on those from low-income families.
The teenagers will participate in essay competitions and quiz contests in China this summer. The winners will visit the expo in Shanghai, and will have the opportunity to work as volunteers.
The World Expo takes place from May through October. Event organizers expect 70 million people to visit the expo and 200 countries to participate.
It will be an experience not to miss in China. It’s great to hear that we can provide access to some great kids who may not otherwise have the chance to attend.
