Example of our Experience with Corporate Volunteer Programs:

Company: Wrigley España

Date: June 2011

Project: Pan Vida

Description: Wrigley donated funds and volunteers to realize the construction of a bakery at one of our community-led projects CEP school. CEP school is a private school that was built on the stance that education should be available to everyone and not only to those who can afford it.  This is a completely free school for the children and the school depends on donations as funding.  The school feeds 130 of the 250 the most needy children breakfast and lunch to support a good education with a good alimentation.

The bakery objective was to help support feeding the children, help the school become more self-sufficient by having a product to sell in the community, and give the mothers of the children new skills and jobs by working in the bakery. The Wrigley volunteers not only helped with the construction, but they gave sales classes to the mothers to help them in their new adventure.
