Despite a low-pressure area declared in the province of Quezon, the OPEC Marizon faced a challenging and potentially disruptive situation as they continued their task of handing over the project to the Sariaya East SPED Center. The Sariaya East SPED Center is a remarkable institution dedicated to empowering children with special needs. Currently, the center has 143 learners with various disabilities, and it is committed to providing them with tailored education and essential life skills. This holistic approach empowers these children to overcome their challenges and unlock their full potential. 

OPEC MARIZON, a respected and socially responsible organization, handed over the Multifunction HandWashing Facilities in the Laundry Area for the SPED Learners of the Sariaya East SPED Center. This initiative was a significant contribution to the center's efforts to promote hygiene and health among its students. The OPEC Marizon team conducted a comprehensive program focused on proper hand washing techniques. The symposium provided detailed instructions on how the learners should carefully wash their hands with soap and water. This is a crucial practice that can protect them from a range of infectious diseases and help maintain good personal hygiene. 

The event was graced by the presence of our ever-active Regional Manager, Sir Menard Baranda, along with the area managers, Regional Audit manager, OPEC officers, and some SEL employees. These dedicated individuals took the time to ensure that the project turnover was a resounding success, further showcasing the organization's commitment to supporting the Sariaya East SPED Center and its remarkable students. 

This effort of OPEC MARIZON to Sariaya East SPED Center is a testament to the power of collective action in making a meaningful impact on the lives of children with special needs. By providing these essential handwashing facilities and educational resources, the project has the potential to contribute to the overall well-being and development of the center's learners, empowering them to lead healthier and more independent lives.
