❝ Photography began as a tool for reaching remote areas, but it has since penetrated the corners of society and touched the hearts of children – shaping a better future for you, me, and the next generation. ❞
— Stanley Yen, Chairman of the Alliance Cultural Foundation / Director of the WT Foundation


❝ Photography is a powerful visual language – each image is an extension of memory. A single frame can convey countless stories. It can be simple or profound, open-ended or deeply resonant – often saying more than words ever could. Photography stirs the imagination and subtly nurtures a child’s ability to express their inner thoughts and emotions. ❞
— Eric Cheng, Founder, Chairman & CEO of WT Group


❝ Though the time spent with children is limited, the love from volunteer teachers is constant and enduring. Photography, as one of the most accessible forms of artistic expression, enables children to observe the world more closely through the lens – fostering deeper connections to the land and people around them. ❞
— Ming-Chi Yang, Chairman of the WT Foundation


 

Community Libraries


To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the WT Foundation, the foundation launched the Shining Hope photography collection in 2024. This special edition showcases the creative achievements of rural students participating in photography classes—allowing their unique perspectives to be seen and appreciated by a wider public.

In a meaningful act of community engagement, WT employees volunteered as “Goodwill Couriers”, personally delivering the photo books to community libraries near their homes. This initiative not only amplified the voices of children from remote areas but also strengthened the bond between the company and local communities—further advancing the principle of community contribution, a cornerstone of sustainable development.
