For half a century, the Foundation has carried out its four missions of Charity, Medicine, Education and Humanistic Culture. On top of these, there are the Bone Marrow Donation, International Disaster Relief, Environmental Protection and Community Volunteerism, which are collectively referred to as “a compassionate step that bears eight charitable features”.
