TELUS Day of Giving – around the globe
The Philippines
The TELUS Day of Giving continues to expand globally. In the Philippines, the fifth annual TELUS Day of Giving took place October 8, 2011, where over 1,750 team members embraced the TELUS philosophy to 'give where we live'. A total of nine TELUS Day of Giving activities included building homes for the homeless, planting trees, and treating underprivileged children to a day of fun. Partnering with Gawad Kalinga (GK), TELUS International continues to build homes for deserving families in Manila. As part of the TELUS GK Village, TELUS team members are building 71 homes and a three-story multi-purpose hall in the first village and have started to build a second TELUS GK Village with another 125 homes.
Since 2007, TELUS International team members have volunteered more than 35,000 hours in Filipino communities, dedicating their time towards nation building and community service.
At the TELUS Day of Giving, TELUS also announced the first international Community Board: the TELUS Manila Community Board, which will be chaired by TELUS International Philippines president Javier Infante.
