Youth volunteers help sell agricultural products through live broadcast.

On Aug 21, the Youth Volunteer Service Team of the State Grid Tianjin Jizhou Electric Power Supply Company came to Mashenqiao town, Jizhou district to sell goods through live broadcast.

Youth service teams have helped villages with 50 mu (8.24 acres) of cornfields to sell their products, while allowing the public to buy fresh and agricultural products at favorable prices. This  results in rural revitalization to benefit more people.

Established in November 2008, the service team has grown from a dozen people to 12 teams today with  241 members, 189 of them young people aged 35 and below.

The youth service team helps farmers  expand  the sales of  agricultural products via live broadcast. At present, the youth   service team has carried out more than 30 online live selling activities. They sold nearly 5,000 kilos of agricultural products earning more than 100,000 yuan ($15,625). The young volunteers taught villagers to conduct online sales, and helped them establish 16 online stores.

In the past 10 years, the youth volunteer service teams have carried out more than 1,300 volunteer services. In the internet era, the youth volunteers of "Shanlihong" will continue help the rural revitalization, and build a beautiful spiritual home on the internet.

"Our team is full of young people who like to watch clips and live broadcasts online. How can we get more people to pay attention to our actions and help more people in need? We have the idea of relying on the internet to carry out volunteer activities," said Xu Lu, leader of the volunteer service team.

This is part of the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Co., Ltd.’s efforts in using livestreaming to carry out volunteer services, public welfare activities, cultural exchanges, and other activities.

At the same time, Tianjin Electric Power Company has deepened and expanded the new model of "Internet + public welfare", and shaped the network for spreading valuable information.
