In the area of medical aid, TAIFEX donated 22 automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices to municipal and county fire departments, which increased the survival rates of patients receiving emergency treatment prior to hospital admission. We also subsidized five municipal and county fire departments' purchases of personal protection equipment for firefighters, enabling firefighters to better protect themselves while rescuing citizens and their property. Additionally, we donated funds towards the Taitung Christian Hospital's construction of a cancer treatment center, which will enable cancer patients in remote parts of eastern Taiwan to get the care and treatment they need nearer to home. In the area of education, TAIFEX continued to make donations to the Financial Services Education Fund, and to the Employment for College Youth to Pursue Financial Achievement program, to strengthen financial education and cultivate future financial professionals. Acting via the Ministry of Education's EduSave Account platform and a program to support education in rural schools, we provided a variety of educational resources to disadvantaged and rural students, and reduced the financial burden on disadvantaged households. In the area of sports and athletics, TAIFEX helped the government cultivate athletic talent by continuing to cosponsor Taiwanese youth football in cooperation with the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation, and the Pou Chen Group. This effort helped support football programs at Pingtung's Ma-Jia Junior High School, Lai-Yi High School, Dong-Gang Senior High School, and Chang- Jhih Junior High School. We also continued to sponsor elementary and junior high school volleyball and tug-of-war programs in the hope that some of these students may shine in the international sporting world in the future. 71
