We are thrilled to announce that the volunteer service event organized by AVISTA with St. James' Settlement was a success last Friday. We spread love and joy through a special cookie giveaway workshop, aiming to bring smiles and warmth to those rehabilitation members through interactive cooking-making workshops and sharing cookies with beneficiaries.
 
AVISTA firmly believe that social responsibility is a core aspect of our business. We are dedicated to fostering a positive impact on the communities we serve and cultivating a culture of giving back.

AVISTA’s Volunteer Activity – A Day with St. James' Settlement

In the vibrant month of June, work takes a pause as we indulge in leisure time on the picturesque Ryukyu Islands. AVISTA Group meticulously organized teams from Shanghai and Beijing to journey to Okinawa, Japan.
 
DAY 1: Japanese Feast
Our exciting journey begins at a renowned local barbecue restaurant. Gathered around the charcoal fire, everyone enjoys tender beef and authentic Japanese cuisine. As conversations about work and life flow, laughter fill the air.
 
DAY 2: Unforgettable Experience
Employees split into groups, with some exploring the ocean's mysteries through snorkeling, others enjoying shopping at the mall, and a few visit the aquarium and fireworks in the north.
 
DAY 3: Fishing, BBQ, Seafood Extravaganza
On the third day, fishing in the Pacific Ocean was a highlight, quickly filling a bucket with colorful fish. The excitement of this unknown experience added anticipation and joy to the day. Enjoying fresh sashimi, barbecue, and local sake on the yacht, everyone returned with hearts full of memories after a day filled with laughter and joy.
 
DAY 4: City Exploration
On the final day of our journey, we continued with a city walk styled like special forces to explore the city's charm. Carrying memories and experiences, we concluded this trip and eagerly embarked on the next adventure.
