The kids and their ates and kuyas from D&E teamed up for a coloring activity.

Underprivileged children of Barangay Malibay, Pasay City enjoyed a day of fun and games recently during a program organized by employees of DMCI Homes’ Design and Engineering Department.

The activity spearheaded by staff of MEPF; Research and Development; and Structural units of the department was conducted in line with their goal to make a difference in the society by helping children, persons with disabilities, and the elderly.

 

D&E employees and the kids competed in a Stop Dance game.

Thirty-five beneficiaries of the project from the Barangay Malibay, Pasay-based Special Children Support Group of the Dominican Sisters. They were treated to face-painting, parlor games, interactive activities, snacks and lunch during the activity held at the DMCI Homes Corporate Center multi-purpose court last October 19, 2019.

Jollibee also joined the fun to the delight of the kids.

“We organized this activity called D&E CARES as our contribution to DMCI Homes’ Kaakbay CSR initiative of reaching out to the less fortunate residents of communities around the company’s head office in Makati City,” explained one of the proponents, Engr. Mark Zian Garlan.
