Commitment to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is a top priority for TELUS International family. TELUS International's culture has its roots in corporate social responsibility programs such as the TELUS Day of Giving when team members around the world donate their time and energy to build schools and homes and TELUS International Community Boards in the Philippines, El Salvador and Guatemala, which each donate $ 100,000 annually to local charities. TELUS International's philosophy -- we give where we live -- is about TELUS International and our team members making a difference. We were very happy to hold the first TELUS Day of Giving (TDOG) in Bulgaria and Romania on September 14, 2013 and September 21, 2013, respectively. About 300 team members in Sofia, Bulgaria and 120 in Bucharest, Romania donated one of their weekend days to make a difference in the lives of some of their fellow citizens. In Romania, our teams from Bucharest and Craiova, with the cooperation of the Romanian Red Cross, refurbished the Ciresarii Center for abused children in Bucharest by cleaning, repainting and renovating it. A team of 120 volunteers made the kids' home more colorful, fun and pleasant to live in. Our one-day contribution at the orphanage accounts for a total of 1,000 working hours and infinite smiles for the children. The action of painting may seem insignificant by itself, but when people join forces, and when there are organizations to unite them around a socially responsible activity, painting may bring positive change in the lives of those who really need it. The TELUS Day of Giving is one of many volunteer activities that our company organizes throughout the year. Others include blood donation Bucharest and Craiova and a tree planting event in Romania. Inspired and enthusiastic, our team is looking forward to next year's TELUS Day of Giving event to make a difference in the communities where we live, work and serve!
