The faith-based Amity Foundation joined hands with Eaton Powering Business Worldwide to donate teaching and living materials to two primary schools in Yunnan Province and carry out teaching and sports activities.

According to the Amity Foundation, in 2021, Eaton Powering Business Worldwide and the Amity Foundation jointly launched the "Unity for Shoes" project. By the end of 2022, the project had delivered sports shoes to a total of 2,360 students in 14 schools in Yunnan.

In late April, the Amity Foundation joined hands with 11 volunteers from Eaton to go to Baka Primary School and Badong Primary School in Sanmeng Township, Lvchun County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. They donated a batch of teaching and living materials, including lightning protection sockets, office computers, printers, and loudspeakers to the school.

Then, they transformed into supporting teachers and entered the classrooms of grades 1–5 in groups to provide students with courses related to electrical safety, English, reading, handicrafts, and sports.

A sports meeting followed. The "physical education teachers" led each class to carry out activities such as basketball, frisbee, shuttlecock kicking, cowhide bands, and rope skipping.

As a rural school with Hani culture, the students of Badong Primary School presented their own folk dances to the volunteers who came from afar.
