Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR team building activity with TODAY GROUP and TODAY OGILVY & MATHER MYANMAR. As we were reaching out to 215 'graveyard' slum children (they live there, play there and earn their food money by collecting plastic bottles from the funeral parlours everyday). We rented a 'funeral parlour' to conduct our activities in, which turned out to be a really nice and beautiful church (it was the only enclosed space we could rent in the area).

​

So wonderful to have spent the morning with the team, playing with the children, singing songs with them and giving them food treats including delicious Chicken Briyani! 

​

Heart-breaking at the same time to meet a little girl who has been drinking only water, no milk, since her mother passed away, and her slightly elder sister now cares for her.

​

Comments from the team include:

​

"It's kind of bittersweet...very heart-warming and happy to be able to play with the kids and see the smiles on their faces, yet knowing the hardship they go through breaks my heart."

 

"Very touching. I have never done anything like this before and I'm moved from deep within. Glad that I work for a company that cares."

 

"This CSR activity makes my time-off so worth-while! Usually during the holidays, we will catch up on our rest but this was time well-spent with my colleagues over a meaningful activity and outreach! Am so happy to be able to spend time with the children."
