Giving more hope to The House of Hope Foundation
In keeping with its tradition of giving back to the community, LG Electronics recently paid a visit to The House of Hope in Davao.
The House of Hope Foundation is located inside the Southern Philippines Medical Center compound (SPMC). It’s a charitable group that provides temporary shelter to children with cancer. SPMC is the only hospital in the whole of Mindanao that offers free cancer treatment to children.
On March 28, 2019, LG Philippines visited the brave families of the House of Hope. LG brought with them donations-in-kind to improve the quality of life of the House of Hope’s residents. This includes over 27,000 various personal care products such as body wash, soap and toothpaste items. Five (5) 43” Full HD TVs, 28 Dual Inverter Airconditioning units, two (2) Top Load Washing Machines, and two (2) Side by Side Refrigerators were also given to The House of Hope Foundation.
The donations hope to help in making the environment conducive to the children’s recovery. LG Electronics Philippines Managing Director Inkwun Heo led the team that visited the children in Davao. “LG remains committed to creating social impact and being agents for change. These brave children serve as our inspiration. We hope that through our small gesture, we are able to enhance their quality of life”.
Giving back to the community
It has always been the heart of LG’s core values to give back to the community. Earlier this month, LG also partnered up with Emcor to conduct a small series of medical missions in Mindanao. Dubbed as #LGFamilyFunDay, these pocket events held in Koronadal in South Cotabato, Digos in Davao, and San Francisco in Butuan. They gave out free full physical and optical check-ups to the members of the community during the morning. In the afternoon, special activities were held for children, such as coloring sessions, an LG inflatable castle, and even a dedicated Netflix viewing area, making it a fun-filled family affair that’s not to be missed.
