Teleperformance (TP) in the Philippines successfully concluded its yearly support to the Brigada Eskwela 2024, an annual initiative of the Department of Education (DepEd) that mobilizes various sectors of society to help with and volunteer for the preparation of public school facilities for the new school year.
Aptly dubbed, TP Dream Builder, the event brought together TP volunteers from nine different locations and demonstrated their remarkable dedication in cleaning school grounds, repainting classroom walls, and repairing furniture.
In Cebu, a team of volunteers supported the Brigada Eskwela at Iba Elementary School.
Overall, Teleperformance has recorded a 26% increase in volunteer engagement this year with 242 volunteers from its various locations across the Philippines demonstrating selfless dedication through the spirit of volunteerism.
“We are proud to see a continued increase in volunteer hours each year. We’ve recorded a total of 1,500 volunteer-hours for this year’s Brigada Eskwela for on location activities alone. That does not include all the time spent on the preparations and coordination for the actual school activities,” TP’s Chief People Officer and Citizen of the World (COTW) Chairperson Jeffrey Johnson, shared.
“Seeing how our employees have generously shared the gift of time and how truly passionate they are to support our philanthropic efforts makes me really proud,” Jeffrey added.
This year, TP’s select adopted schools include Camaman-an Elementary School in Cagayan de Oro, Bunawan Aplaya Elementary School in Davao, Jose Divinagracia Sr. Elementary School in General Santos City, Sum-Ag Elementary School in Bacolod, Gibraltar Elementary School in Baguio, Sto. Domingo Integrated School in Pampanga, Molino Elementary School in Cavite, and Bambang Elementary School in Pasig.
While super typhoon Carina has affected various areas in Metro Manila, the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela program continues to thrive with the dedication of staunch supporters like Teleperformance.
