Volunteer work: reconstruction
Reconstruction volunteer work seeks to improve the condition and quality of schools in certain
local communities, making the building structure safer for children.
Between 7-8 September, 2018, reconstruction volunteering had a positive impact in three states
of Mexico, namely Morelos, Puebla and the State of Mexico. The three states staged volunteering
events in which 197 volunteers took part by painting schools, cleaning gardens and planting flowers
in schools and public spaces, among other activities.
Association-led volunteer work
For the first time in 2018, the Bank took part in a volunteering event organized and promoted by
the Mexican Bankers Association (ABM), which took place from May 18-27. The Bank was present
at two days held in Atlixco, Puebla, with 46 volunteers, and in Tijuana, Baja California, with 35
volunteers. A total of 81 Bank volunteers took part in the events by carrying out cleaning and social
harmony activities across the community.View entire presentation
