Mall employees join Brigada Eskwela
As a way of giving back to the community, SM employees in Cebu pooled their own resources to buy cleaning and repainting materials, at the same time render services to the adopted school during the recent Brigada Eskwela.
Mall administration employees together with different agency personnel from SM City Cebu, SM City Consolacion, and SM Seaside City Cebu cleaned up the surroundings and repainted some of the classrooms and walls in Mabolo Elementary School, Jugan Elementary School in Consolacion, Cebu, and Mambaling Elementary School.
Brigada Eskwela is an annual project initiated by the Department of Education that encourages members of the community to share their time and skills in preparing the schools to ensure a clean and safe learning environment for the students.
The SM Employee Volunteerism Program spearheaded by SM Cares through the Human Resources department of SM malls encourages employees to exercise their social responsibility and to directly immerse themselves with the community it serves.
The project is being done on top of the institutionalized community projects of the company that benefit children, senior citizens, the environment, farmers and PWDs among others.
SM Cares, a division of SM Foundation, collaborates with communities and organizations that promote positive change. Its programs focus on people and the community, environmental sustainability, disaster resilience and green campaigns.
