Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Simon Rumbles, Strategic Indirect Buyer at Xaar has completed his second trip to Africa volunteering to help local schools in Nakuru, Kenya, thanks in part to the support of his employer Xaar.
Organised by Midlands charity Derby County Community Trust in collaboration with African Adventures, the project allowed a total of 80 volunteers to travel to Africa to help local schools build new classrooms, renovate older parts of the buildings and teach the children.
As part of Xaar’s Sustainability Roadmap and Volunteering Scheme, the Group’s employees are encouraged to take part in all types of volunteering, including overseas. Through this, the company has supported Rumbles’ volunteering by donating £500 and granting extra annual leave each time, making both trips possible.
Many of the scheme’s volunteers returned to the Jubilee Academy in Nakuru for a second year and were able to build on last year’s work to make the school a safer and more enjoyable environment for pupils.
The team assembled foundations for extra classrooms, repaired fencing, fixed the water butt and re-painted many of the older classrooms to brighten them up for students.
