JS Unitrade Merchandise, Inc. President and CEO Samuel Po handed a cheque of five million pesos to Habitat for Humanity Philippines (HFHP) Capital Campaign Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala during the turnover ceremonies held on September 19, 2011 at the HFHP national office. With this support, HFHP will be constructing day care centers in the country. The first leg of this campaign will be built in Quezon City and Davao.

 

JS Unitrade’s donation is a valuable contribution to HFHP’s community development model, particularly in the educational development of children. These day care centers will provide better education opportunities to children in Habitat communities wherein volunteers, partners, and parents can conduct tutorials and other learning activities.

 

The design of the day care center shows a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and a nurturing environment. The plan has colors which suggest that children will have a fun learning experience in the facility, and that they will be taken care of.

 

“We are grateful for the generous contribution of Mr. Po and JS Unitrade,” said Ricardo Jacinto, Habitat for Humanity Philippines Managing Director and CEO. “This will help Habitat in achieving its dream of communities where education and values will be developed and encouraged through these day care centers.”
