Tahche Employees Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Philippines in Valenzuela City
Last July 18, 2024 (Thursday), Tahche partnered with Habitat for Humanity Philippines and held a half-day CSR event entitled “RISE FAST: Tahche x Habitat for Humanity Philippines” at the latter’s Bignay-Maunlad Socialized Housing Project in Valenzuela City. Underscoring Tahche’s dedication to improving the quality of life of Filipinos, Tahche volunteers came together in helping build an essential facility in a community for low-income families in the community.
The day began early in the morning, with volunteers gathering at the IBP Tower, home to Tahche’s Metro Manila office. From there, the team traveled together by van to the event location. Upon arrival, the volunteers were welcomed by Habitat for Humanity Philippines’ representatives who provided orientation and safety precautions for the day’s activities.
Amylene Sy, Tahche’s Country Manager, kicked off the event with an inspiring opening message. She spoke about the significance of the “RISE FAST: Tahche x Habitat for Humanity Philippines” initiative and expressed her pride in seeing the team come together to support such a noble cause. She praised everyone for not only rising early for the event but also rising up to the challenge and giving their time and effort to help build better communities.
The volunteers worked hand-in-hand with skilled construction workers in improving the structure of the multipurpose center, which will be used by future homeowners for community functions such as training programs, homeowner meetings, and various occasions. The multipurpose center will be pivotal in strengthening the camaraderie of homeowners and creating a sustainable, thriving community. Tahche employees engaged in various construction tasks, including sanding the walls, sieving sand, cutting and bending rebar, and other activities.
“I’m glad to witness and develop an even better appreciation of the hard work these skilled workers do for the community.” – Jeimi (Tahche Volunteer) (Translated)
It was a tiring yet fulfilling day for Tahche volunteers, knowing that they have made a tangible positive impact in the Filipino community.
