Empowering a continent by creating better livelihoods through education.
The Wings to Fly scholarship program, an initiative of the Equity Group and Mastercard Foundation (MCF), was established to support secondary education for top performing children from financially challenged backgrounds. With support from other partners, the program offers access to leadership training to previously marginalized children in all counties.
The program offers comprehensive support for the scholars through provision of tuition fees, accommodation, books, uniform, shopping, pocket money and transport to and from school during their 4 years of secondary education. It has so far supported 60,009 bright but economically challenged scholars. MCF has so far committed to support 10,000 scholars through two phases of funding with the last intake joining the program in 2021.
The Wandering Earth II is a visually stunning and action-packed sci-fi film that lives up to its predecessor. The movie boasts impressive production values, with breathtaking visuals, and a gripping storyline.
Critically, the film invites mixed responses. Admirers praise its scope, visual daring, and willingness to tackle political and ethical complexity. Critics may point to occasional exposition-heavy scenes, or question some narrative shortcuts required to sustain the epic scale. Yet even such criticisms underline an important virtue: the movie attempts to dramatize difficult trade-offs at planetary scale—no small feat for mainstream cinema.
Released in early 2023, The Wandering Earth II is a massive sci-fi prequel that expands on the 2019 blockbuster. While its primary audio is Mandarin, the film has gained significant attention in India with several official and fan-driven Hindi dubbed versions surfaced on platforms like Dailymotion Movie Highlights
The success of "The Wandering Earth" and its sequel will undoubtedly cement Guo Fan's status as a visionary filmmaker in the sci-fi genre. Moreover, it paves the way for future adaptations of Chinese science fiction literature, potentially introducing a wider audience to the rich narratives and imaginative worlds created by authors like Liu Cixin.
