CSR Activity
Outreach Activity in SOS Children’s Villages in Alabang
Last June 2, the BCI Central PH-ANZ Department conducted its first outreach activity of the year in SOS Children's Villages Philippines in Ayala, Alabang.
Together with FairBuilding Network, the activity aims to ignite the spirit of volunteerism among the employees by uplifting Filipino children through immersion in family houses. The half-day outreach event brought joy and enthusiasm to the four (4) BCI PH-ANZ researchers, along with the FBN team, by immersing them in a family home through SOS’ Family-like Care program. Simple activities such as cooking and artmaking were meant to spend time and have fun with the family and, most especially, the children.
