On Children’s Day 2011, the children of Queren village, Mori Kazak Autonomous County, Xinjiang moved to the brand-new Pigeon Hope Kindergarten built with the aid of Pigeon (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. It is reported that the expanded area of the new kindergarten is 720 square meters. There are 165 children altogether, including 65 at the preschool, 44 in the top class, 30 in the middle class, and 26 in the bottom class. The new kindergarten is a rationally designed, spacious and bright building that creates a sound learning environment. It is a great improvement upon the school’s formerly crowded and dilapidated condition. At the same time, Pigeon has also devoted spacious recreational and teaching facilities that facilitate teaching and enrich the children's study life. On the day of completion, which was also International Children’s Day, Pigeon dealers delivered festival gifts to the children. The whole kindergarten was in high spirits. Afterward, Pigeon Shanghai GM Toshimi was given the title of Honorary President and president Okoshi Akio was honored as “Ambassador of Love”.
