In August 2018, the Community Development area was created in Caleta Bay, under the responsibility of Eduardo Mas, Deputy Manager. This arises from a desire to materialize our willingness to be a good neighbor in a new, concrete action. Being a good neighbor means understanding that one does not live alone, but within a community, to understand that, in order to have a harmonious coexistence, one must strive to carry out actions that contribute to the community. We understand that these actions range from being respectful and friendly, to being ordered with special care in generating the least possible impact in terms of the environment, as well as being available to help find joint solutions to common problems or needs.
These first months of work, the focus has been on Eduardo presenting himself to the community on behalf of the company, generating a link with people to get to know each other.
For this and the year 2020 we are actively working with local foundations, in the development of 4 projects of connection in the communities:
We are generating a project with Huella Local, a foundation that deals with the collection of demographic, social and communal information. With these findings, we will get an idea of the needs of our communities, allowing us to put together a portfolio of projects. Then, the members of these we can look for high impact solutions, contributing to the development and strengthening of our communities.
On the other hand, at the education level we will work with the Enseña Chile Foundation, where we have already signed an agreement that led to the insertion of a teacher for the 2019 school year at the Los Andes de Melipeuco High School, IX region.
In addition, we will develop a program to complement the training of technical high school students in the aquaculture race, managing tools and opportunities.
Finally, the foundation Children first will help us to work with children between 0 and 5 years old, in situations of vulnerability and poverty, generating the opportunity for cognitive and emotional development at an early age, in this way the arrival to basic education will be faced with better tools. What you learn as a child, accompanies you throughout your life, says Eduardo Mas.
