Social Responsibility
Timezone Helps Build a Learning Community
| What better way for Timezone to contribute and share its blessings than to lend a hand towards a good future for the children. In support for the beneficiaries of the Children’s Hour, Timezone Philippines recently committed to help in its “Building a Learning Community” project this year. The program desires to enable elementary school children to become independent readers and increase their functional literacy rate of the English language. The company and all its employees participated and collectively pledged to help out through an individual freewill contribution of at least an hour of their earnings for a good cause. These activities are part of Timezone Philippines’ corporate commitment to spread the gift of fun through supporting programs that are geared to protect the welfare of the Filipino children. The smiles and laughter of the children beneficiaries, as well as their brighter futures, would speak of the great rewards of being able to actively respond to its social responsibilities. |  |
Timezone's LA MESA DAM Advocacy This year’s team building for Timezone meant a special kind of camaraderie for a worthy cause. On June 9, 2006, Timezone chose to adopt a hectare and planted at least 400 trees. Timezone employees trekked almost 5 kilometers to plant Narra trees at the La Mesa Watershed to contribute to the healing of the once denuded and abused forest. The La Mesa Watershed, the reservoir which supplies drinking water for the millions of residents of Metro Manila, was badly denuded due to rampant practice of slash and burn farming in 1998. To prevent the site from becoming completely barren, Bantay Kalikasan launched the Save the LA Mesa Watershed project, which aims to rehabilitate and reforest the La Mesa Watershed by replanting an average of 250 hectares every year, with the goal of above 90% survival rate. |  |
