Investing in quality education has been proven to improve the lives of many – providing stability, confidence, personal growth and professional success, among others.
Committed to supporting and empowering the education sector and marginalized Filipino students, Sun Life Asia Service Centre-Philippines (ASCP) implemented a corporate social responsibility campaign which aims to aid learners and teachers with the tools they need to do well in school and most importantly help empower students to pursue a bright future.
Dubbed “SOS 4 Face2Face campaign”, Sun Life ASCP, a company providing contact center, business processing, IT, and Investment Research services to Sun Life’s global businesses with locations in India and the Philippines, recently mounted a fundraising program by providing schools and office supplies, health kits and many more to public schools – helping them be prepared and back-to-school ready for the face to face classes.
The company supported over 19,000 beneficiary students from selected public schools as the company believes that education is very important for every child to have access to.
“At Sun Life ASCP, we believe that we have a part in supporting our learners in public schools to help them achieve their full potential and eventually take their place in the society in the future. Education opens up the learners’ vital skills such as good decision-making, interpersonal skills, and confidence in life, among others. Sun Life ASCP also understands that not every family and child has the means to support their studies, that is why we are extending our hands to support the public education sector and the students,” shared Aldo Almera, Sun Life ASCP VP and Site Head.
The donation drive was led by Sun Life DBTS Canada Executive Vice President, Chief Information and Technology Innovation Officer Laura Money along with other Sun Life ASCP leaders – ASC Managing Director Tarun Sareen; ASC VP and CHRO Rajeev Bhardwaj and ASC VP and Site Head Aldo Almera, as they donated computer monitors and conducted a feeding program for over 300 working students in Pasay City West High School.
