We all know that 2020 was a difficult year for everyone. In a context full of challenges, Sabre team members in Uruguay once again showed their spirit of solidarity by carrying out a series of actions in support of the community during the course of the year.
Through the funds that many of our collaborators voluntarily donate each month to the CSR teams of Community Relations and Animal Welfare, and thanks to the voluntary work of many of the members of these teams, the following actions could be carried out:
February - Back to School Campaign
We collected, sorted and donated school supplies to equip 3,522 backpacks for the Mimochi Project, destined for children in 50 schools across the country. We also invited other companies on the Zonamerica campus to participate by placing collection points in common areas.
April - Food Basket Donation
We made a donation to Canastas.UY equivalent to 1,000 food baskets. Each basket can help a family of up to six people for three days.
June - Grandfather's Day
We collaborated with the Cottolengo Masculino Don Orione in their Grandparents' Day celebrations. Our volunteers provided them with personalized snacks to celebrate their day and make them feel accompanied in such a special moment as the one we are living, which particularly affects the elderly.
We also sent them board games and new chairs so they can have a renovated recreation room.
August - Children's Day
We collaborated with Hogar del Bebé, donating everything they needed to have a hamburger party for the children. We also gave them warm sports equipment for 40 children.
October - Donation to PGA Shelter
In commemoration of World Animal Day, on October 4th, we collaborated with the shelter "Perros y Gatos en Adopción" through a donation of construction materials. These were destined to the creation of houses to provide climate protection for the more than 350 dogs that live in the shelter.
December - Angels Tree
To close the year, we collaborated with the CAIF center "Casita de María", donating toys for the children who attend the center as a Christmas gift.
In addition to these initiatives of our volunteers, Sabre donated equipment and furniture. In October, together with Fundación Zonamerica, we donated more than 600 computers, 280 monitors and 800 peripherals to Fundación Sophia and Fundación Niños con Alas. This donation facilitates access to online education for primary and secondary school students throughout the country. In December, we made a donation of furniture - 26 chairs, 42 tables and 8 microwave ovens - to Fundación La Muralla to support their social work.
As a company, we are very proud of the social work that our employees carry out in support of our community, demonstrating their commitment and passion, as well as their flexibility and creativity in adapting their solidarity work to the constraints imposed by the pandemic.
