Sun Life teaches BayaniJuan kids how to save

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Elementary students of Sto. Tomas Elementary School in the BayaniJuan community in Calauan, Laguna learned valuable lessons on saving for the future, after the Sun Life Foundation visited their school recently.

Sun Life Foundation executive director Joub Miradora graced the event and spoke to the children about the importance of being conscientious when it comes to handling money. After the short talk, he  distributed  over   a  thousand coin banks to the students, whose  families were among those who were relocated to the BayaniJuan community from the Pasig River Rehabilitation program and after being displaced by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009.

This is a part of our financial literacy advocacy because we believe in the importance of instilling in children the value of saving for the future,” Miradora shares. “Teaching them to save early on will help them understand how to handle their finances in the future.”

Sun Life Foundation aims to distribute 5,000 more coin banks to public school students in the coming months.

Sun Life Financial is represented in the Philippines by its life insurance arm, Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. (SLAMCI); and its preneed company, Sun Life Financial Plans Inc (SLFPI). Sun Life Financial Philippines – Foundation Inc. is the philanthropy arm of SLOCPI.
