Geely Car Company and Rural Primary School Visit, Zhong Chuan County

Today we visited a manufacturing plant of the Geely car company. The plant can make 30 per day and they are for export only. The main markets for these cars are Central Asia and Eastern Europe. There is space for the plant to expand production within the current building and there is also land nearby for new buildings. They chose this location in Gansu as it is near the airport and their main export markets. Geely have larger facilities in the South of China.

After lunch we visited a rural school and it was a fantastic experience. There are over 230 kids at the school however it's poorly resourced. The kids were great and they seemed very keen to learn. We visited some classes and spoke to their teachers. We are going to collect money to buy books and pencils for all the children as well as some footballs.
