Children’s Week starts buzzing with activity in Solar!
For 4 years in a roll, Solar has been selected by volunteers from IBM that register projects with educational benefit and that also benefits the city development, demonstrating social impact. The program is called On Demand Community (ODC). During children’s week, employees visited institutions to teach an important content with a fun method.
Look what happened on October 7th:
They taught elementary school kids how to make ice cream using only milk, salt, chocolate and ice! The ice cream was delicious. It was ready in only 5 minutes and it disappeared in 1. Everybody was a happy mess at the end of the activity and weekend’s deserts are guaranteed.
The volunteers also built dog houses using discarded cardboards. It means that community dogs also got a gift: a gorgeous recycled treat, and, as a consequence, community is now cleaner.
There closing was great: they took 200 students to Meninos de Luz Theatre to attend a debate on sustainability, global warming, and recycling with IBM experts.
The employees group sweated joyfully. The kids can’t wait for 2014 event!
Speaking of cool actions…
If there is a child, there are toys. Four hundred children from 3 months to 18 years are part of Solar, so toys are a really important part of the celebration.
That’s how Copacabana Microcamp, Prudential and Pacheco Drugstore, which is participating for the third year, entered the celebration: they donated a week of toys captured in campaigns among employees and customers.
The cool thing is that they did not just delivered the bags that filled a quarter of Solar Meninos de Luz. On October 10th, institutions representatives and employees visited Solar, participating and bringing joy to children in the form of goodies.
In common with the adults there were the happy smiles on the face of every child from Solar Meninos de Luz.
