During the event, volunteer associates spent time reconstructing and refurbishing the community’s day care center and facilitated a short program for the village children, giving out new books, school supplies, multimedia equipment and electric fans.
ADP Vice President & General Manager Josep Maria Elias (top row, eighth from right) joins ADP Philippines’ associates who volunteered as sponsors for ADP Philippines CIRCLE’s “Star of Hope” program last December. Currently, under CIRCLE’s Learning Pillar, the program takes care of 40 ADP scholars from different public schools and universities in Manila.
Now on its fourth year, the program gives these scholars a chance to experience gift-giving in ADP Philippines. “Star of Hope” involves more than 50 associates, who would like to sponsor one scholar and provide at least one of the three items in their wish list. CIRCLE (Corporate Involvement and Responsibility to the Community, Learning and Environment) is the corporate social responsibility arm of ADP Philippines that promotes volunteerism among its associates in the spirit of giving back to communities.
