Canadian, Family-Owned Company, Superior Glove, Supports Honduran English School Program | |
Featured from left to right is Derek Neal, HR Coordinator for Health & Safety – the person creating the curriculum for the Honduras English School and one of the teacher volunteers; Heather Larsen, Global Human Resource partner and a key player in organizing the entire initiative; President of Superior Glove, Tony Geng, who has always supported and encouraged this initiative and many others. Tony has just returned from the first two weeks of the English Camp in Honduras. | |
|
On January 4, 2023, four employees from Superior Glove’s North American office arrived in the Villanueva community for four weeks where 30 children of Superior Glove employees and 3 community scholarships will have the opportunity to attend English School. Their goal is to give back to the community in which they proudly operate, while opening future doors for those children’s education future. The employees graciously volunteered their time to lead this program as English teachers.
This outreach is nothing new for Superior Glove, as the company values its employees in every location, and the community they operate in globally. Specifically speaking about their plants in Honduras – throughout the year they give away food baskets, provide on-site health clinics (with an on-site doctor) and much more. This company strongly believes that “Together, We Can Do Better”.
Superior Glove is always open to the right corporate partnership for social responsibility and synergies that aid not only in the growth of this program but other social impact initiatives here in Canada. If your company would like to get involved in this initiative or something socially impactful in the 2023/2024 year, please contact Carleigh.roughley@superiorglove.com.
