Since 2008, employees of ING in Mexico, the U.S, The Netherlands, Peru, and Chile have exchanged e-mails with Christel House Mexico students as a part of the ING Orange School program. By answering questions, these virtual volunteers help the Mexico students polish their English skills. Yalin Cacho is the Subdirector of ING Social Responsibility for Mexico and Latin America. She writes:
When we started Orange School, three years ago, neither ING or Christel House Mexico imagined the impact and success that this program would have.
This program has not only helped CH students to better their English speaking and writing skills, but it has also been very useful for them to know people from different countries, cultures and ideas. It enriches immensely not only the students but ING Tutors as well.
For ING staff in México, Chile, Peru, USA and the Netherlands that participate in this program, this has been a wonderful opportunity for them to contribute a grain of sand to these children´s educations---not to mention the impact of knowing Christel House Mexico children in reality, has been really overwhelming.
I have to recognize both teams, ING and Christel House Mexico, because it is through them that this program has become such a success.
I recognize the English Coordinator and Teacher, Vanessa and Miss Linda also, English Secondary teacher. Without their strict follow up and guidance this would not have been possible either. Cristina Compeán has also been a key element in this program, she always believed and supported the program, and her prompt solving of any issue has also made this program very successful.
I also have to mention and applaud ING México Social Responsibility team, especially Alejandra and Gisela, thank you all!!!!
Together we have built a great team and hope to continue working towards the benefit of our incredible Christel House México Children.
