Standard Chartered Philippines recently supported anew DepEd’s Brigada Eskwela 2018 through simultaneous volunteering activities in two public schools. Employees of the bank volunteered to do classroom clean-up and painting in Baesa Elementary School in Caloocan City and San Martin Elementary School in Bamban, Tarlac. Brigada Eskwela is the annual program of the DepEd wherein teachers, students, parents, and other interested parties join hands in preparing classrooms in public schools for use in the coming school year. Through the years, the Bank has supported this initiative and for this year, Standard Chartered added a school feeding and hygiene awareness activity benefiting more than one hundred Aeta students of San Martin Elementary School.
