Transparent BPO Big Donation: 500 Bags & School Supplies
The National Committee for Families and Children was the recipient of a large donation from Transparent BPO this afternoon. Some five hundred bags with school supplies were handed over at its office on the Philip Goldson Highway as the corporate citizen is committed to make a difference in the communities within which its employees work and live. A News Five team was on hand for the handing over.

“Over the years, we’ve given to many different programs including burn victims, Salvation Army, other programs. As well as supporting our own employees who have needs, they are injured and need surgeries, their families are impacted and things like that. So it is just part of our corporate culture that we want to be involved. We felt that this was such a worthy cause because our children are so important to us. We wanted to give them a leg up so we decided to make this one of our donations this year. And so we were approached asking for a smaller donation and we said let’s make it a bigger donation and so we gave over five hundred bags and school supplies as part of the donation program.”

“We are a youth arm of the National Committee for Families and Children and each year we try to give back to the different communities through two efforts, our back to school drive and then later in the year a Christmas hamper drive. Last Saturday, we started our back-to-school drive efforts with Georgeville and also with San Louis in Orange Walk giving away a hundred backpacks with supplies. So this donation assists us in reaching a lot more participants. There are five hundred plus bags so our method for distribution is to reach out to the district coordinators for the Sustainable Child-Friendly Municipalities, better known as the Child Advisory Bodies, to have them make donations to distribute the bags within their municipalities.”
