Giving Back to Our Community - A Heartwarming Visit to SOS Children’s Village

At ISB Vietnam Company, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Recently, we had the privilege of organizing a charity event that touched our hearts and brought smiles to many faces. Our journey to SOS Children’s Village was an experience that showcased the spirit of generosity and unity within our company.

A Mission of Love and Support

Our charity event was centered around a noble cause: to provide financial support and gifts to the children at SOS Children’s Village. The funds were graciously contributed by our dedicated company members, whose generosity made this event possible. The company’s board of directors also played a pivotal role, offering their unwavering support and encouragement.

The Day of the Event

The day began with a sense of excitement and purpose. A group of enthusiastic volunteers from our company gathered early in the morning, ready to embark on this heartwarming journey. We were carrying not just monetary donations, but also over one hundred gifts, meticulously wrapped and chosen to bring joy to the children.

A Warm Welcome at SOS Children’s Village

Upon our arrival at SOS Children’s Village, we were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The children’s excitement was palpable, and their joy was contagious. It was a heartening sight to see their faces light up as we began distributing the gifts. Each present was met with giggles, hugs, and heartfelt thanks, reminding us of the true essence of giving.

Heartfelt Moments and Memories

One of the most touching moments was seeing the children’s eyes sparkle with happiness as they unwrapped their gifts. The sense of community and togetherness was overwhelming, as our company members interacted with the children, sharing stories, laughter, and even a few tears of joy. It was a day filled with emotional connections and unforgettable memories.

Gratitude to Our Company Members and Board of Directors

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to all our company members who generously contributed to this cause. Your kindness and compassion have made a significant impact on the lives of these children. A special thank you goes to our board of directors for their support and guidance in making this event a reality. Your leadership and commitment to social responsibility inspire us all.

Moving Forward with a Heart for Giving

This visit to SOS Children’s Village was more than just a charity event; it was a testament to the values we hold dear at ISB Vietnam Company. It reminded us of the importance of community, compassion, and the positive change we can bring when we come together for a common cause.

As we move forward, we remain committed to continuing our efforts to give back and support those in need. Together, we can create a brighter future for all, one act of kindness at a time.

Thank you once again to everyone who made this event possible. Let’s continue to spread love, hope, and joy in our community and beyond.

Goal 3 - Donate Blood Save Lives

Donating blood is one of our company (IVC) ‘s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities vs SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

The company supports the staffs’ activity participation by allowing us to donate blood during working hours.

This is not the first time for all of us to donate blood but the first experience we can donate blood as IVC employees working out of office.

 

Let our voices be heard!

~~~  

“It was the first time I donated blood in Vietnam. I went to the donation center alone. I had no idea of the process but Vietnamese people helped me. Thanks a lot!!” (Nagae)

~~~

“It was a bit surprising to see much more people in the donation center than I had imagined. As a foreigner, I expected the cumbersome procedure but the whole blood donation experience was pleasant except for the needle... The sense of contribution to society was very worth the big needle to me.” (Noe)

~~~

 “This is my first time donating blood. It is a good start to the next one. I feel happy to have made a small contribution to society.” (Khuong)

~~~

“I'm happy to join in this voluntary social contribution activity. I believe that showing and spreading love is something that each of us should pursue in our life. Let's join this activity with me!” (Hanh)

~~~

“In the past, my loved one was in critical condition and needed a lot of blood to continue treatment. At that time, my family was very lucky to receive the blood of a volunteer. That's why I understand better than anyone what the meaning of a drop of blood is. And when I received the message from the blood donation center that my blood has been used for the patient, I was really happy.” (Tien)

~~~

 “Despite a long time of research, scientists have been unable to develop an ideal blood substitute. There is currently no substitute for human blood. Donating blood is giving the gift of life. I love donating blood and I will encourage more colleagues, friends, family members to become regular blood donors.” (Thuy)

~~~

Hope that such meaningful and humane activity will continue to receive a wide response from IVC employees in particular and from the entire community in general so that together we will contribute to the realization of the project “sustainable development goals - SDGs” in the community!

Goal 12 - IVC participated
in the campaign “Clean Up
The World 2022"

One of the important Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that IVC is striving towards in this year is to ensure sustainable consumption and production pattern (Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production).

Nowadays, with the tendency of applying science and technology, electronic devices are becoming more and more popular and indispensable in the production activities of enterprises as well as in daily life. Accordingly, electronic waste (e-waste) disposal is becoming a major problem of the whole society.

Proper collection and recycling of e-waste is the key to protect the environment and reduce climate-damaging emissions. And this target was the main motivation for IVC to participate in the campaign of “Clean Up The World” held at Aeon Mall Tan Phu (Ho Chi Minh City) in two days of September 24 & 25, 2022.

 

In response to this meaningful campaign, in the morning of September 24, 2022 (Sat), IVC’s representatives brought the company's e-wastes to the booth of “Vietnam Recycles Company” at this campaign so that these e-wastes could be treated safely in accordance with the professional process that meets the standards of environmental law.

 

Let us look back at some images of IVC employees at this event:

 

We believe that by spreading the good meaning of these kinds of community activities, not only IVC employees but also their families, friends will gradually form the habits of proper e-waste disposal and environmental protection.

Finally, we would like to thank Vietnam Recycles Company and Aeon Mall Tan Phu for organizing a very meaningful campaign so that IVC had the opportunity to participate in and spread the message of environmental protection to all our employees.

How IVC joins hands to support a sustainable future

In the context that global challenges are more pressing than ever, companies worldwide are taking a stand to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.

As a leading Japanese software outsourcing company in Vietnam, IVC is not only committed to delivering top-notch technological solutions but also to making a positive impact on the environment and society. In this blog post, we will write about IVC's commitment to sustainability, the initiatives we have undertaken, and the impact on both our business and the community.

The first is a brief introduction about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a set of 17 global goals established by the United Nations in 2015. These goals are designed to address various challenges facing the world, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. These global goals serve as a roadmap for creating positive change on a global scale, and we believe that every business has a role to play in achieving them.

In the next part, we will write about some specific initiatives IVC has implemented to support the SDGs.

  • Employee Welfare Programs:

    Our belief in sustainability extends to our greatest asset – our employees. IVC is dedicated to fostering a positive workplace culture that values the well-being of our employees. Through comprehensive wellness programs, reasonable work arrangements, and continuous learning opportunities, we ensure that our employees develop both professionally and personally.

  • Community Engagement:

    In the past years, IVC has been actively involved in various charitable initiatives; each designed to address pressing social issues and contribute to the realization of the SDGs. Some typical charity activities in recent years include sponsoring Vietnam's Covid-19 vaccine fund, donating blood, sponsoring SOS children's villages, supporting many social activities of The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Ho Chi Minh City (JCCH)...

  • Internship opportunities for new graduates:

    Understanding the concerns of new graduates in finding a professional internship environment, every year IVC creates many job opportunities for new graduates. When joining IVC's team, they not only received both theoretical and practical training in the real project environment but also earned a deserved income.

As we reflect on our past achievements, we look forward to continuing our charitable initiatives, expanding our impact, and working towards a future where every action brings us closer to achieving the SDGs. Join us on this meaningful journey!

Christmas 2023 - The Season of Love

We are writing to share the heartening experience we had at the SOS Village during our recent Christmas charity event at the beginning of December 2023. We had the opportunity to bring a touch of joy to the lives of abandoned children by providing them with Christmas gifts, a gesture that we believe resonated deeply with all of us.

The event was a resounding success, with numerous volunteers from our organization contributing their time and effort to ensure that the day was special for every child. We managed to distribute an array of gifts, aiming to cater to the interests and needs of the children.

Our team's dedication was evident in the meticulous planning and execution of the event. From selecting appropriate gifts to organizing entertaining activities, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The smiles and laughter of the children were a clear indication of the impact we made.

We would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each one of you for your generous donations and volunteer work. Your compassion and commitment to giving back to the community are what make our team extraordinary. It is actions like these that truly embody the spirit of the season.

Specially, we would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the Board of Directors for their unwavering commitment to our community initiatives. This event would not have been successful without the generous support of them, who provided not only the funding but also the encouragement to make this event a reality.

As we move forward, let's carry the momentum from this event to continue making a positive difference in the lives of those around us. Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions on how we can further our community outreach efforts.

Let's look back at the memorable moments on this journey together!
