Everyone loves the holiday season. Music, laughter, and gifts abound! It is also a wonderful time to catch up with family and loved ones. But Christmas can be made even more festive and meaningful by spreading the joy. In this season of giving, nothing makes more sense than sharing what you have with others. With Cadbury Dairy Milk’s GenerosiTREE, you can celebrate the spirit of generosity by making something good happen!
In the Cadbury GenerosiTREE booths, donors can spread the joy while making something good happen by exchanging special items they love for a Cadbury gift pack. All the collected toys or books will be given to the children who are part of Mondelēz International’s Joy Schools Program, which aims to help empower children to take positive steps towards their well-being. Launched in 2011, the Joy Schools is implemented in five Southeast Asia countries where the Company is present including the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Across these five countries the Company has invested close to US$ 1 million in community partnerships to promote healthy lifestyles under the Joy School program.
In the Philippines, approximately 4,500 students from 16 schools in Paranaque, Pasay, Manila, Pateros, Muntinlupa, Tacloban, Quezon City, and Marikina have benefited from the Joy School Program’s many initiatives since its inception. The program has initiatives for nutrition education, promoting active play, and providing access to fresh food through a 9-month feeding program.
