Accompanied disadvantaged senior citizens in Hualien for 16 consecutive years
123 Lunar New Year gifts collected within 5 days
First reunion event at the Kernel of Wheat Foundation nationwide locations after the pandemic
Since 2008, TWM has been actively involved in the Hualien community by organizing the
Volunteer Banquet for senior citizens for 16 consecutive years. This long-standing commitment reflects
TWM's dedication to caring for the local community and serving society. Despite the impact of the
pandemic in 2021 and 2022, we continued to leverage technology to support our initiatives through online
video calls and home visits to share the joy with senior citizens. After the lifting of pandemic
restrictions, our volunteers, fueled by the unwavering passion of TWM for the past 16 years, embarked on
a journey to Hualien. This year, in addition to utilizing the iSharing Volunteer Platform to collect 123
sets of Lunar New Year gifts with a total value of NT$65,000, we accompanied the senior citizens at the
event in shopping for festive goods, playing games, and enjoying the warmth of the gathering. Moreover,
we provided 300 gift vouchers worth NT$1,000 each to mostly solitary elders, giving them the opportunity
to share the warmth of the Lunar New Year together. We connected four locations, namely Fenglin and
Guangfu Daycare Centers, through online platforms for the gathering banquet activity. It enabled the
senior citizens and volunteers to meet and engage virtually, embracing the use of technology to create a
delightful and joyous experience together in the Lunar Year of the Rabbit.
Corporate Volunteers

2865.5 service hours
With pre-training and instructional participation, TWM's corporate volunteers are equipped
to apply the digital technology skills cultivated through programming education to their personal and
professional development, thereby cultivating employees into technology talents who can adapt to the 5G
era. In addition, serving in rural areas not only satisfies the spirit of service and giving back to
society for employees but also helps to establish and strengthen a mutual aid system among employees
within the Company, enhancing their sense of belonging and personal mission towards society.
Multiple Rate Plan
Caring for foreign migrant workers and benefiting disadvantaged user groups
At the end of 2022, there were 98,899 effective users in the parenting program.
In 2022, we continued to provide special offers for disadvantaged groups such as students,
seniors, and physically disabled persons. We also introduced preferential pre-paid cards for migrant
workers who work hard to earn a living in Taiwan. The multiple-rate pre-paid card, which cost NT$599,
offered data access for 30 days (with speed decreasing to 5Mpbs once a certain quota was reached), as
well as free domestic and international telephone calls on the same network. The 180-day data access
(the maximum download speed of 12Mbps) costs NT$1,794, enabling migrant workers to enjoy value-added
mobile internet service without a binding contract.
The parenting and children plan launched in 2019 also provides free minutes with low monthly
subscription fees. There are two data options depending on the children's needs – 1.5Gbps and 3.5Gbps
(with speed decreasing to 1Mbps/3Mbps once the data quota has been reached). This allows parents to
contact their children with smartphones/devices to ensure their safety. As of the end of 2022, 98,899
people have applied.

A total of 205 social welfare events with 3,945 participants
TWM has participated in the " National-wide Outstanding Store Manager Selection " organized

led their store colleagues to participate in public welfare activities such as caring for the old and
the children, cycling around Taiwan for carbon reduction and environmental protection, caring for stray
animals, and donating blood and materials. They have also taken initiatives to introduce programming and
technology to children in rural areas, enabling them to explore the possibilities of technology and
cultivate their technological literacy from a young age, fostering the development of the next
generation of tech-savvy individuals. By taking concrete actions to give back to society, TWM has
demonstrated unwavering compassion even in the face of the challenges posed by the pandemic. Moving
forward, we will continue to actively engage in initiatives that promote the integration of our stores
within the community, thereby embodying TWM's commitment to local business values.
New Hometown New Vision Video Production Camp and Little Anchor Camp
New Hometown New Vision Video Production Camp
A total of 2 events were held in 2022, with a total of 12 new immigrant participants
The "New Hometown, New Images" Video Production Camp is led by professional instructors who
teach new immigrants how to use mobile phones to capture images and edit videos. Video production
instruction enables new immigrants to observe and document stories in their lives in a more diverse and
lively way. On the one hand, it facilitates their understanding of their new hometown. On the other
hand, they can share these stories with their relatives and friends back in their home countries,
allowing them to see the city and local life where they currently reside.
Little Anchor Camp
In 2022, two "Little Anchor Camp" events were held, with the participation of 36 students from two
schools.
The New Taipei City Government Social Welfare Department, New Taipei City Parent-Child
Education Association, and Cable Television System collaborated to organize the "Little Anchor Camp"
event again at the end of 2022. The event invited elementary school students from the region to
participate, providing them with additional experiences beyond their regular school curriculum. The
activities included understanding the evolution of cable television and the news production process.
Ultimately, the participants had the opportunity to step onto the anchor desk and experience what it
feels like to be a news anchor. The program cultivates verbal expression skills and self-confidence,
allowing children to learn and expand their horizons more diversely while creating beautiful memories.
