Epson continues Gift of Brightness

December 22, 2017

Epson Philippines has deepened its partnership with the Department of Education with a ceremonial signing. The OEM’s Philippines subsidiary has revealed that its partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) on the digital imaging company’s Gift of Brightness program for youth and education was formalised during the Memorandum of Agreement ceremonial signing for DepEd partners, held recently at the L.B. Soriano Hall, SEAMEO Innotech in Quezon City. Epson has supported the youth and education through various projects and advocacies, one of which is the Gift of Brightness program, started in 2013. The Gift of Brightness program aims to equip deserving, less privileged schools in the country with Epson technologies to help the students in their studies and school projects through the donation of complete technology packages for each recipient that consist of Epson printers, projectors, scanners, label printers, document cameras and a year’s supply of inks and cartridges. “Since we started the program, there have been 45 beneficiary-schools, 27 of which were coursed through the Department of Education for the selection process under our partnership for the past two years. We believe that by offering detailed innovation, which is at the heart of all Epson products, we can contribute to uplifting the learning experience for the students. We hope that through the Epson Gift of Brightness, we can help bring brightness and inspiration,” explains Donna V. Ferro, Head of Marketing Communications and PR, Epson Philippines. Secretary Briones compared the partners’ efforts to the help extended by the stakeholders and concluded her speech by urging private companies “to find the true meaning of Christmas among the children whom you are serving.”
