This year, over 1,800 bankers from Citi Philippines along with members of their families signed up for Brigada Eskwela, a private-public partnership initiated by the Department of Education to prepare public schools for a new school year.
Citi volunteers, including their CEO Aftab Ahmed, repaired and painted desks and chairs, as well as cleaned classrooms at public schools in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu including Captain H. Francisco Elementary School and Santo Niño Elementary School (SNES) in Marikina City.
The volunteers took part in Citi’s annual Global Community Day, where employees are invited to give back in various service projects.
Citi partnered with three non-profit organizations, including the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), in undertaking the Brigada activities.
Brigada Eskwela’s 2017 theme was “Isang DepEd, Isang Pamayanan, Isang Bayanihan para sa Handa at Ligtas na Paaralan.”
