Haulotte team serving the community

The Asia Pacific Middle East team gathered once again in Siem Reap, Cambodia for an annual kick-off meeting to align strategy and action plans for 2020. A half day was set aside to continue their last year’s CSR program engagement in Samrong Village.

A fund raising project was organised throughout APME subsidiaries as well as CHANGZHOU factory in the last quarter of 2019 to include all team members to have a part to play in the CSR project. Fund raising activities included spare change, sacrificing their morning cup of coffee and donating the amount, potluck and donating their lunch money. The amount raised went to purchase projector cum screen and photocopier for the school.

In Siem Reap, the team lent their hands to lay pipes in the village, setting up the projector and screen, photocopied cum binding books for the teaching materials required for the new year.  The team also interacted with the kids through learning sessions in the classroom and some  active games of football.

“It’s very rewarding to think that we gave a little part of our time and money and it can make a big change in the life of these kids. I strongly believe in education as a key factor in the development of individuals and societies and I’m happy that we, as Haulotte, are able to contribute in one way.” NAIT YACOUB Nadia, Customer Operations Manager

“The bright-eyed curiosity and joy in the eyes of the children left a deep impression on me. Was a good reminder that everywhere, children are striving in tougher conditions than ours – so we have no excuse to be soft or lazy!“ LIU Joie, Key Account Director

“It has been a wonderful afternoon helping out the kids in Siem Reap. It makes us realise how fortunate we are. Seeing smiles on their faces who made what we do very meaningful.” WEE Jay, Financial Service Manager, HFS

“Working as a team to give back to community and bringing a smile to the kid is a rewarding activity .Through the CSR project , it had created the opportunity for all to and contribute in each of our way through fund raising and site work.” YEO Chris, QSE Manager

“The CSR activity that we have been an integral part of twice over the span of last 1 year was a heart-warming and enriching humane experience for me. Never before I had such an opportunity like this and I treasure beautiful memories of the time that we dedicated to the activities for the kids at the Cambodian village school. Maybe not enough, but for sure we all together a Team HAULOTTE have made a small, yet positive contribution to building their future.” RAY Souma, General Manager, India

“As a participant – Seeing smiley faces and bring laughter to the children warmth everyone’s hearts to put in as much efforts to assist. Every little bit of effort counts. Happiness is accumulative and addictive.” PHUA Darren, General Manager, SEA

“Thank you for offering more,  I am good for 1 balloon or 1 sweet , there are many of us . we need to share.” sharing from a child in the village.

“Haulotte’s recent CSR trip has made a huge difference to our development. Especially the photocopier is helping us save around $700 for every 6 months on the production of the learning and teaching materials. We don’t have to wait a few days now to make a copy by travelling to the city and saves on time as well.

With the screen and projector – workshop, movies and other learning sessions can now be conducted in the village allowing AKC school to have the facility like a modern school in the city. Cost saving, travel risk, quality is now at our convenience. 

The hard work your team contributed on the water piping funding and installation is now up and running. Our school will be greener, the energy saving from using electric pumper and the place now look so proper and tidy. All in all, your work, your tools really help us to leverage project to the next levels towards the Hospitality Training and Hospitality School.  Above all, your time in our school, is not just about helping but influencing the team, allows the kids to get used to the outsiders and get ready for the broad future. They had a lot of fun and learning in class and outdoor activities. We are looking forward to your 2021 trip and other support along the way there.”  Samnang Chhon, Founding Director, All For Kids Organization/Angkor Kids Center 

“I am truly glad to have had a chance to see this meaningful journey come to fruition. We can say that we met our aim of improving these children’s education conditions, in the Samrong Village.  My enjoyable interaction with the lively, spirited children across two visits further sealed my conviction that there is much more we can do, socially.

Within Haulotte, we actively communicated and onboarded teams across the region and achieved a meaningful team spirit. I want to thank again all the HAULOTTE team members who have given towards this valuable social contribution.” GAUTIER Damien, Managing Director ASIA PACIFIC
