The Palmer Volunteers cleaned & painted many rooms in the said school which is for poor but deserving students from around the area.
Everybody was Happy & Delighted for having helped many people that day. Palmer-Asia Incorporated held its annual Sports Fest on April 7, 2018 at La Villas, Binan Laguna. Four teams vying for victory competed at various games including basketball and volleyball. All employees had a great time playing while some cheered and yelled in support to their respective teams. It was indeed a time for celebration as employees were able to take a time off their work and truly have fun with their colleagues.
The Red Team was unbeatable as a champion for the last couple of years so all the members of the team gave 100% of their effort. Yellow team came close to red team but Dannis San Jose got the winning point in playing the Chess tournament so we won the over-all. All the team work paid off. And I think that’s the goal of this sportsfest that all of the teams participating to work, help, and support together as one to bring success and start to form a new level of trust with one another |
