In October the red-sludge severely damaged several buildings, so the AmCham Foundation raised 6.8 million HUF to build new playgrounds and a gym for the primary schools in Devecser and Kolontár. In our volunteer’s day together with member companies (Provident Pénzügyi Zrt., Persecutor Vagyonvédelmi Kft., Manpower, LEG Magyarország Zrt.), local teachers and AmCham staff, the approximately 60 participants painted fences, doors and did gardening.

„We arrived at the school in the morning, where local teachers invited us for a delicious breakfast. After that the work began, most of the volunteers started with the garden and the fences and a couple of us prepared lunch. When all the work was done and we ran out of paint, the goulash was also ready so it was time to start the well-deserved lunch! Meanwhile some participants prepared the tables, others played ping-pong and basket-ball with the local children.” – as a volunteer summed up the day.
„We had a great, productive day in Devecser, by the end of the day we were all pretty tired, but happy and satisfied that we could also give something to the local community!” – she added.
The AmCham Foundation would like to say thank you and express its appreciation to the participating companies, especially Provident Pénzügyi Zrt., who delegated the highest number of volunteers, and also Persecutor Vagyonvédelmi Kft. , Manpower and LEG Magyarország Zrt.
