Marking a significant milestone in community service, PGA SOMPO conducted a Bloodletting Drive on October 12, 2023, at its office premises, reaffirming their commitment to humanitarian causes.

The event was attended by PGAS officers and employees as well as the Young Focus Team and chosen students.

 

The grant is intended to support the Young Focus’ Love2Learn Program which focuses on children who have dropped out of elementary school due to poverty and lack of educational and social support.

The grant is intended for Onesimo Bulilit’s student center and will address the need for desktop computers and printers.  The student center caters to children at risk and provides access to computers, tutorials and help for homework and school projects.  Recognizing the health and physical well-being of these children and their families specially during this pandemic, the grant will also cover hygiene kits and food relief supply for distribution to 160 families in a span of four (4) months.
