As part of its ongoing commitment to the education and well-being of the communities where it operates, Drummond Ltd. held a volunteer day for the cleaning and painting of the sports court at La Francia School, part of the Dar\u00edo Torregrosa P\u00e9rez Educational Institution, in Ci\u00e9naga, Magdalena.<\/p>\n\n

The activity involved officials from the company’s Communities area, students, parents, and community leaders, demonstrating that coordinated work generates a positive impact on education and the quality of life of students.<\/p>\n\n

To carry out this initiative, Drummond Ltd. provided supplies such as paint, brushes, and rollers, as well as snacks for the participants. This volunteer work represents the final phase of the fifth stage, in the support that the company has developed with the institution for more than 15 years. This period of time has allowed for the construction of 13 classrooms, two bathroom blocks, and the sports court with its roof. <\/p>\n\n

“This is a very important activity. It is a volunteer project in which community leaders, parents, students, the educational board, and Drummond officials are painting the court as the final stage of a process that we started more than 15 years ago and that we are successfully completing today,” said \u00c1lvaro Daza Pinedo, senior supervisor of communities at Drummond Ltd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The impact of this intervention is reflected in the growth of the school\u2019s student population, which has tripled thanks to the improvement of the infrastructure. In this respect, Helen Carolina Montenegro Bocanegra, coordinator of the institution, highlighted: “We have been working for days with Drummond painting the field, with which we will benefit more than 350 students and the entire community of the Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar neighborhood. This is important for us and we are grateful for this ongoing commitment made by Drummond to education in Ci\u00e9naga.” <\/p>\n\n

In addition to improving infrastructure, this initiative strengthens the sense of community and commitment to education. Catherine Mar\u00eda V\u00e9lez Barrios, mother of a student, expressed: “We thank God and the company that has sent us their help, their collaboration for our children, their growth, and their development.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
