Support through Exchange and Correspondence

Support through Exchange and Correspondence

Through the Wheat Field Project Education Foundation, set up as a non-governmental NPO for educational support in China, MCO is supporting children in the Mazda Wheat Seedlings Class. They started offering this class in 2012 with the aim of encouraging "tiny seedlings to grow vigorously into golden wheat fields."
In addition to funding libraries and teacher training, the class allows MCO employees to provide both financial and emotional support to children through the exchange of letters and the gifting of daily supplies.
In FY2019, employees received letters and drawings from the Mazda Wheat Seedlings Class. Many employees gladly participated in the exchange and sent reply letter, books, and presents as New Year's greetings, thereby deepening the bonds with the class.

Additionally, the same foundation held a summer camp in July, and four former Mazda Wheat Seedling members, now in university, volunteered to support the camp's educational activities.
