As part of preparations for the upcoming academic year and its longstanding
partnership in helping communities via meaningful education programs, Xiaomi
Philippines and nonprofit organization World Vision participated in this year’s
Brigada Eskwela activities. The company donated Xiaomi smart devices, while its
employees and select members of the Xiaomi Fans Club volunteered and fixed up
classrooms at a local public school in Batangas province.
Last July 13, the school inaugurated its “Xiaomi-Powered Room,” which has the
latest Xiaomi devices that are set to enhance students’ learning experience in the
coming school year. The donated devices and electronics include Xiaomi TV A Pro
units, Smart Cameras, Standing Fans, and Xiaomi Vacuum cleaners. The brand also
gave school supplies, backpacks, and classroom chairs.
In addition to the donation of essential devices and supplies, representatives from
Xiaomi and World Vision volunteered in fixing and maintaining the school’s
classrooms for the start of the new academic year later this month. Xiaomi
employees as well as select members of the Xiaomi Fan Community renovated
rooms, painted walls, ceilings, and doors, and cleaned up the schoolyard.
This year’s Brigada Eskwela is Xiaomi’s first time sending volunteers to join the drive
to help local public schools, after years of donating supplies to schools in need.
“We are extremely grateful to Xiaomi Philippines for the help they have extended to
our school. Through the devices and electronics that they have donated, our
schoolchildren’s learning needs were addressed, allowing them to have better
experiences in class,” said Marilou O. Solis, head teacher.
“At Xiaomi, it has always been our mission to provide innovations for everyone, and
this is a wonderful opportunity for the company’s local employees to really engage
with the community and look at how we can help people further. With this initiative,
we are happy to be able to help build a better and safer space for the kids to learn in
school,” said Tomi Adrias, Xiaomi Philippines Head of Marketing.
“Filipino children need all the support they can get in school and in life, and we at
World Vision thank Xiaomi so much for their program. The supplies the children will
use in school will greatly help to give each of them a chance and to let them know
that we prioritize their education. We pray that the company is able to help even
more schools and children across the country with their technology,” said Michael
Macabasag, area program officer for World Vision.
