成立基金會,是創辦三之三以來一直追求的目標,除了落實「取之社會,用之社會」的企業理念外,更緣於下列三大背景因素:
To set up a foundation is the goal that 3&3 has been pursuing from the beginning, not only to implement the philosophy of “Take from the society / Give back to the society”, but also in light of these three background ideas:
從小受惠於太多人的支助、鼓勵,才有今天健康茁壯的我,因此發揚別人對我的愛,成為心中最大的心願。從大學開始,即進入孤兒院、教養院、農村、偏鄉深入服務,希望讓更多孩子能跟我一樣,因為愛而活出勇氣、努力克服自己的環境,健康成長並回饋社會。
I have been supported and given encouragement by so many people since my childhood; therefore, to develop the love of others is my biggest wish inside my heart. When I was in college, I devoted myself to helping the poor in the orphanages, rural areas, and social welfare centers, in the hope that with my help, more kids will be empowered to get over the difficulties from the environment, to be able to live with love and courage, and one day they will dedicate themselves to the world.
1988年創業時,就將「社會公益」列入企業經營最重要的項目之一,除了幫助有需要及特殊的孩子外,更定期支助公益團體、機構,持續三之三對生命關懷的用心與重視。
When I established my corporation in 1988, "Social Welfare" is one of the most important items of my business goal. In addition to helping children with special needs, the corporation also supports many public interest groups and institutions, to emphasize how much we value lives.
三之三積累數十年的社會公益及生命教育推廣經驗,兩岸事業亦趨於穩定發展,當應結合更多資源,匯集更多的參與,進行更有系統、更具專業的生命教育工作。
We've been gaining experience in promoting social welfare and life education for decades and the development of cross-strait business is more stabilized. It is time for us to incorporate more resources and participation, to conduct more systematic and professional work in life education.
基於此,加上內人葛惠老師及兩位寶貝女兒全心推動、專家學者大力支持及事業夥伴們積極籌備下,基金會終得以順利誕生。心中無比感恩,也祈盼更多力量的注入,一起努力讓所有孩子的生命中,皆得有愛的守護與陪伴。
Base on the ideas above and also with the whole-hearted support from my wife, Grace Ko, my two lovely daughters, and help of so many experts in their own fields, the foundation has now been born with the preparation of colleagues. I am very thankful for all the efforts, hoping that with more people joining us, we will be able to accompany all children with love and care.
