Our Commitments
Our corporate social responsibility has us thinking about the future. When we think about the future, we consider the youth, their education, our environment, and the principles we make sure we live by.
Our ideal future is one with universal access to education, one with a clean and healthy environment, and one where we strive for powerful and meaningful change.
TeamAsia’s annual CSR campaign, coined My Dream in a Shoebox, is an initiative to empower underprivileged children to fight poverty through education. We collect shoeboxes and fill them with school supplies, helping less fortunate Filipino children have a brighter future. These are given during gift-giving days, where kids spend the day having fun, playing games, and receiving gifts from ‘Santa’ himself. The campaign also provides scholarships that give each scholar a uniform, allowance, and school supplies for an entire school year.
My Dream in a Shoebox was first launched in 2009. We partnered with industry sponsors and volunteers to reach out to 200 street children under the care of the Dynamic Teen Company (DTC), led by 2009 CNN Hero of the Year Efren Peñaflorida. The campaign has grown immensely since. We went from 200 shoebox donations in 2009 to 75,000 in 2018. 2018 also marked the year that My Dream in a Shoebox embarked on a bigger journey by providing scholarships to 110 students.
As of 2021, My Dream in a Shoebox Year 13, strives to continue to provide tools and access for children around the Philippines. More than providing shoeboxes filled with school supplies and essentials, the campaign expanded into building E-hubs and supporting more Dream Scholars in our beneficiary communities.
