Education is the foundation upon which we build a more compassionate, connected, and sustainable society. By supporting public schools, we invest not only in academic success but also in the development of values that will shape the future. One remarkable project that exemplifies this principle is M Lhuillier’s donation of long tables and chairs to Port Area Elementary School in Busbus, Jolo Sulu. This has been successfully done through the effort of the dedicated team, M Lhuillier’s OPEC Zambasulta.

The provision of these functional and versatile furnishings goes far beyond just equipping the classrooms. Long tables facilitate collaborative learning, encouraging students to share, trade, and even donate food during lunchtime - a simple yet impactful gesture that helps reduce food waste. By fostering in-person interactions and group projects, these tables cultivate essential social skills, such as clear expression, active listening, and polite conversation. These abilities are the building blocks of empathy, strong relationships, and effective communication - qualities that are invaluable for personal and academic growth.

Moreover, the long tables and comfortable chairs create a more inviting and focused learning environment. Proper classroom furnishings have been shown to positively impact students' academic performance, as they enable greater participation, engagement, and concentration during lessons and activities. By providing these resources, M Lhuillier has not only supported the physical needs of the school but also invested in the holistic development of the students.
