Since 2006, Mitsubishi Electric Asia Pte. Ltd. (MEAP) has been collaborating with APEX Day Rehabilitation Centre for the Elderly to bring joy and laughter to the patients of the center. Through the years, our staff has shown their enthusiasm for volunteering and has actively been participating in the philanthropic activities organized by our Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) Committee.
After their visit to S.E.A. Aquarium earlier in the year, the patients of APEX Centre were once again delighted when they met the internationally renowned giant pandas, “Jiajia” and “Kaikai”, at the Giant Panda Forest of River Safari on August 14, 2013. In total, there were 26 patients and 45 volunteers involved in this event. Some volunteers were assigned to take care of the patients, while others helped out in the distribution of snacks during tea break.
The Managing Director of MEAP, Mr. Minoru Hagiwara—who joined this CSR event with MEAP for the first time—was very honored and excited to participate in such a meaningful event. At the end of the event, the volunteers felt a sense of fulfilment when they saw the smile on every patient’s face.
