Community Engagement

“Taking rural children to a Godot musical” may seem like an unlikely combination. In 2025, Microtek responded to its ESG social responsibility commitment by supporting this meaningful initiative, enabling children from rural areas to experience live musical theatre for the first time.

Rural communities are often associated with limited access to resources and information, youth outmigration, and intergenerational caregiving challenges. Through an introduction by partner organizations, Microtek participated in a program that brought rural children to watch Godot’s musical Three Idiots. The initiative involved visiting rural elementary schools and mobilizing corporate support, giving children the opportunity to step beyond their daily surroundings and explore new possibilities for the future.

In previous years, Microtek has supported higher education through scholarships, sponsored imaging and scanning equipment for schools, and participated in programs that help underprivileged children achieve their dreams. This initiative marked another meaningful step forward. Initially, there were concerns about whether a musical might be too complex for elementary school children. However, these concerns were dispelled upon receiving thank-you letters from students at Ruisui Elementary School in Hualien.

One student shared that the line “Be water, my friend” left the deepest impression. Curious about its meaning, the student later searched online and learned that it represents being adaptable yet strong, and the ability to come together as a powerful force. The student expressed hope to carry this spirit forward with perseverance and confidence. Through this activity, Microtek believes that a seed of hope and limitless possibility has been planted—not only in this child’s heart, but in many others as well.

In recent years, ESG has evolved from a slogan into an essential part of corporate operations. Environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance are not only current priorities for Microtek, but also areas that will continue to be strengthened in the future.
