FLORIDABLANCA – The UPS Philippines employees of Clark Freeport banded together to support a school-based agriculture, mentoring, and feeding program at the Sto. Rosario Elementary School here in celebration of the 10th annual Global Volunteer Month.
\nSome 203 UPS employees and their families recently dedicated one day to preparing the plots and organic fertilizers, as well as repairing fences, for both the vegetable garden and the tree nursery of the school.
\nThe volunteers also conducted a food clinic, wherein they fed 250 students and mentored pre-school to Grade 3 students.
\nIn addition to setting up the vegetable garden and tree nursery, UPS employees and their families also prepared gift packs with juice, biscuits, and candies for the students.
\nFor UPS Philippines, their ongoing partnership with the AWECA Foundation is an opportunity to promote sustainable development in Filipino communities, especially in addressing key issues in health and education.
\n\u201cOne of the focus areas for The UPS Foundation is encouraging sustainable development,\u201d said Tim Gohoc, managing director of UPS Philippines.
\n\u201cThrough our work with the AWECA Foundation, we hope that more schoolchildren will learn about organic farming and agriculture, and reap the benefits of nutritious meals prepared with the harvests from their gardens,\u201d Gohoc added.
\nThis year\u2019s Global Volunteer Month initiative is in support of The UPS Foundation and AWECA Foundation\u2019s School Caravan: Generating school-based food sources through Upgrading the Learning on Agriculture of the Youth (Gulay) program, a year-long project involving 572 students from Grades 1-6 in three schools in Pampanga.
\nThe program aims to educate students on the fundamentals of organic farming, provide farm tools and materials for the schools\u2019 vegetable gardens and nurseries, construct a food clinic, and set up feeding programs to address malnutrition in school-aged children.
\nThe vegetables harvested in the school nurseries will be used for the students\u2019 meals, while the food clinic will charge three pesos for meals, to help support the project.
\nFor UPS employees, this year\u2019s Global Volunteer Month was opportunity for them to help their fellow Filipinos combat the high drop-out rates in schools through education and proper nutrition.
\n\u201cGood nutrition plays an important role in ensuring that these children are prepared for school, while their knowledge of organic farming will benefit themselves, their families and communities,\u201d said UPS Clark Community Involvement Committee Head Rolando Nierva.
\n\u201cThis activity was a good reminder of what we can share with the communities we work with, and what we can do to drive change wherever we are,\u201d he added.
\nIn Asia, about 5,700 employees, with their families and friends, volunteered more than 26,000 hours of service. Through The UPS Foundation, over US$1.7 million in grants and charitable giving were also distributed to about 50 non-profit organizations within the Asia Pacific region in 2012. Many of these grant beneficiaries have been organizations with whom UPS employees volunteer.
\n\u201cUPS has always embraced the philosophy of giving back to the community through volunteerism, and has been making incremental investments in resources to ensure that we are contributing to Asia\u2019s development and growth at the pace it demands,” said Pete Elroy, vice-president of Human Resources, UPS Asia Pacific Region.
\n“From the 2,400 employees that volunteered 10 years ago in the inaugural volunteer month, we are very pleased to share that nearly 5,700 Asia-Pacific employees, along with their families and friends, have contributed their hours in making their communities more environmentally sustainable this year. We look forward to delivering more in the years to come,” he added.
