Team Building with a Twist: Thermo Fisher Gives Back to Playa del Carmen Community
Thermo Fisher Scientific, a global leader in serving science, demonstrated its strong commitment to social responsibility through impactful corporate volunteering in Mexico. During a team-building retreat in Playa del Carmen, the company partnered with KKIS, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping kids in school. Together, they packed 150 backpacks and built 10 bicycles for students, leaving a lasting legacy of support and community care.
Team Building with a Twist
Thermo Fisher employees traded traditional retreat activities for hands-on community service during their corporate volunteering in Mexico. Through this unique and purposeful initiative, they assembled 150 backpacks filled with school supplies and built 10 bikes, all donated to KKIS scholarship students.
Empowering Students Through the Power of Pedals
Access to education often hinges on basic resources like transportation and school materials. According to UNESCO data on Mexico, students in underserved communities face steep challenges in staying in school. Thanks to Thermo Fisher’s generous donation, local students now have new bicycles to help them overcome transportation barriers and attend school more consistently. It’s a powerful reminder of how small actions through corporate volunteering in Mexico can create transformational change.
Grateful for a Shared Mission
KKIS is incredibly grateful for Thermo Fisher’s generosity and alignment with our mission. Every backpack packed and bike built helps bridge educational gaps and brings us one step closer to a more equitable future. Events like this prove the strength of purpose-driven teamwork and highlight the positive potential of corporate retreats.
