Bosch reports status of Yolanda projects

Bosch announced that it has completed two rebuilding projects in Daanbantayan, Cebu. Bosch turned over the two-classroom school building in Purgason Primary School, as well as a library for the Looc Primary School. The construction of establishments in Cebu kicked-off in May when 22 Bosch associates flew to the identified areas for the company’s service week initiative. The rehabilitation efforts were mobilized with the help of Habitat for Humanity. By establishing a tie-up with Hansgrohe SE, Tindog Pilipinas also had the advantage of Hansgrohe basin mixers, which resolved the sanitation concern in all rebuild locations in Northern Cebu and Leyte. Tindog Pilipinas is also in the process of constructing several school facilities in Leyte, such as a Science Math Center in Alang-alang National High School, including the provision of building supplies and materials; and an industrial building in Tanuan II Central School. Once reconstruction projects are completed, sites will accommodate about 4,000 schoolchildren in Central and Eastern Visayas. Raised mostly by Robert Bosch, Inc. in Stuttgart, Germany, funds for Tindog Pilipinas amounted to €174,000 (P10,822,356), including significant contributions voluntarily coming from Bosch associates across the globe.
