DHL sorts, delivers examination papers for underprivileged Grade 3 public elementary school students

The world's leading postal and logistics group, DHL, part of Deutsche Post DHL, made the day for volunteers of Teach for the Philippines (TFP), as 17 DHL employees recently helped sort and transport examination materials to 10 participating schools in Quezon City (QC).

Together with the TFP team, the DHL employees, sorted out 10 boxes of examination materials, which are administered quarterly by the TFP to participating schools.

“The materials that DHL helped us sort and transport are very important to our program – examinations are done to assess how students cope with TFP-assigned modules and materials given by the Teacher Fellows,“ said Mhar Mangahas, Leadership Development Officer, Teach for the Philippines.

Ronaldo Benebe, Makati Service Center Manager, DHL Express Philippines, said the activity was a genuine exercise in volunteerism among members of the DHL team. “As an international logistics company, we saw that we must contribute and were really needed for this activity,” he said. “This will continue every quarter with our commitment to help these kids.”

103 reams of examination materials were first delivered to DHL’s service centers in Makati and Ortigas in San Juan, and then transported to 10 QC public schools where 52 Teacher Fellows were posted.

The long-term success, sustainability and innovative power of the economy and society depend on a strong educational system and targeted professional development. Therefore, an investment in the education and training of young people is an investment in the future,” said Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL.
