Wherever our associates are based, they have made it their goal to give back to their communities. This month, MES Ningbo, following the recommendation of Ningbo Charity Federation, visited Man Tian Xing Service Center for the Disabled, a center caring for patients with special needs. Spending some time in the company of these young people was a highly enriching experience for our colleagues.
