WMS joins Brigada Eskwela for the third year running

May 2016

The Worldtrade Management Services (WMS) team headed for Daet in Camarines Norte last 6 May for their Tourism with a Purpose (TwP) activity.  It was their third year in a row to support the Department of Education's "Brigada Eskwela" program.

The team of 34 members together with WMS Director Dennis Forhart and Senior Manager Alex Saborio, helped out Bagasbas Elementary School which has a population of 830 students.

Prior to the activity, the department coordinated with the principal, Mr. Neri Rieza to plan out the TwP activity.  They also purchased 5 gallons of white paint and another 20 gallons of green  for mixing into a shade of green that the school requested.

At the activity which started at nine in the morning, the team was able to donate 275 books, two microscopes with microscope slides and a laptop.

Shortly after, the team divided themselves into three groups. One group gathered water to clean the walls, another scrubbed off the dirt and grime from the wall, while the last group using paint rollers and brushes applied the newly mixed phthalo green paint.

For three years now, the WMS team participated in DepEd's "Brigada Eskwela" .

The teams worked until a little after lunch to complete the walls after which, the school staff  and the WMS team took photos in front of the school. 

It goes without saying that teamwork was key to another successful event.  The team was able to bond while doing "Brigada Eskwela." They worked hard to complete the walls and enjoy the rest of the day in Bagasbas Beach and the Calaguas Island on the next day.
