OPPO empowers the Youth through Unilab Foundation’s Ideas
Positive
Empowering the Filipino youth in building healthier
communities
International smartphone brand OPPO believes in the power
of the youth. With this in mind, the brand conducted its first CSR activity for
2018. OPPO Philippines teamed up with Ideas Positive, the country’s premier
youth engagement program for healthier communities. Ideas Positive is a program
of Unilab Foundation whose mission is to build a healthier Philippines.
OPPO Philippines donated OPPO F5 Youth units to the youth
teams during the boot camp of at Camp Allen, Santa Cruz, Laguna. OPPO phones
will be used by the participants in sharing their journey and capturing the
best moments and experiences with their communities. The goal is to help the
youth spread the word about the innovative health solutions that Ideas Positive
are implementing in their communities through social media.
“We are grateful that OPPO partnered with Ideas Positive.
For the past years, majority of our participants use their own mobile phones in
documenting their projects. However, not all of them own good quality
smartphones that can take quality photos and videos. OPPO’s support this year
is a big help to the youth teams in documenting their project implementation,”
said Alfred Dicto, Project Lead for Ideas Positive.
Already on its eighth year, Ideas Positive holds a
nationwide competition where youth teams can develop innovative solutions that
address health issues in the community level. Among hundreds of entries,
seventeen teams were chosen this year to participate in a three-day boot camp,
where they learned the basics of project management, leadership, and
communication. Each team will receive up to Php100,000 in funding to implement
their project with their chosen community.
“OPPO believes that
the youth plays a huge role in nation-building. We are glad to partner with
Ideas Positive in supporting and empowering the Filipino youth,” said Eason De
Guzman, OPPO Philippines’ PR Manager. “We have seen how enthusiastic and
passionate the participants are in helping the communities. We hope that with
OPPO’s support, the teams will be able to capture their best moments and share
their wonderful stories and experiences with their communities,” de Guzman
added.
The teams with the best health outcomes will be announced
in August 2018, and will be awarded with cash prizes and smartphones from OPPO
Philippines.
