Grupo Protege turned the year squandering solidarity and spirit of Christmas. With the involvement of its employees, the company continued its social responsibility projects and organized a Christmas campaign that benefited hundreds of underprivileged children of São Paulo, Campinas, Guarulhos and Belo Horizonte.

The institution chosen by the Corporate Area and South Base and Guarulhos/SP was Casas Taiguara, which offers residential institutions and shelters for homeless children and teenagers, especially those who are on the streets of Sao Paulo. The employees of the group sponsored all children and adolescents of the project, presenting them with kits containing toys, clothes and shoes as well as contributing to the achievement of the Christmas supper at the institution.

At Base West, the Christmas campaign received help from employees of various operational and administrative sectors. The sum of the money raised was used to buy food, diapers and personal hygiene materials and cleaning. The delivery took place on 19/12 for the institution ” Lar Abrigo Saint Germain “, a place that cares for children from 0 to 12 years. Some shoes, clothes, games and toys collected were also donated to APAE Barueri.

In Campinas, country side from São Paulo, the campaign started earlier, on 16/12/11, when the gifts were donated to the children of the Eufraten Foundation. The action brought joy and awakened our people to solidarity. The participation of staff (extremely involved and interested) allowed an afternoon filled with hot attractions like the trampoline, the pogo stick, cotton candy, hot dogs, soda, and much solidarity.

Belo Horizonte has already helped Happy Child Day Care Home, which is maintained by the local community for 10 years and serves children from 01 to 16 years of age. Employees raised the base food, food baskets and clothing.
