Chinese School Children Send their Well-Wishes to France on the Panda Express
FedEx Express, the world’s largest express transportation company, has revealed that the specially chartered Boeing 777F flight carrying two giant pandas to their new home in France’s ZooParc de Beauval will also be carrying one other Very Important Package – the well-wishes of more than 1,000 schoolchildren.
Ni-Ni Zhao, FedEx Express China’s Operations director wrote the following:
When I received an email with the subject of “panda,” I immediately became excited. FedEx will again be flying two giant pandas, our national treasure. The pandas, Huan Huan and Yuan Zi, will be the Chinese culture ambassadors to France. Fortunately, as FedEx employees, we can ask our children to send their best wishes to the pandas through drawings and paintings.
In order to engage more children in this meaningful activity, we went to Shanghai Pudong Foreign Language Primary School and conducted an activity called “Paint and Send Wishes to Pandas”. The activity took place in a classroom with 40 students. All the students finished their paintings in one hour and the teacher asked the students to share their wishes in either French or Chinese.
All the paintings from the students will be flown to France aboard the FedEx Panda Express. I believe the wishes of the kids will always be with Huan Huan and Yuan Zi.
