After holding a successful event last September 22 and 23, the Business Expo 2014 Committee decided to give back and conduct a small outreach program. A part of the proceeds from the previously held Business Expo was used to acquire toiletries which were later on packed by the organizers into 60 health kits.

Last Friday, November 7, the Business Expo 2014 organizers went to Gen. Maximino Hizon Elementary School, located at Jose Abad Santos, Tondo, Manila, to carry out the said outreach program for the benefit of some of their Special Education (SPED) students. The organizers were accommodated by Ms. Josie Quizon and Mr. Marcelo Mislang, the school principal. The health kits and gym bags (sponsored by Wrangler) were distributed one by one to the SPED students, including those with hearing impairment, intellectual deficiency, and autism. From the smiles on their faces, it was evident that the students were delighted and were also very appreciative of what they received.

The outreach was truly a fulfilling and heartwarming experience for the Business Expo 2014 organizers.
