DMSI Cares: Book Drive for Children First

Early literacy is vital because it not only supports children’s cognitive development but also their social-emotional development. Young children who have strong early literacy skills are better able to communicate their thoughts and feelings with others.

On the other hand, improving adult literacy is also important because it improves a person’s social, emotional, and mental health. It also provides an opportunity for a person to thrive in today’s modern world.

At DMSI International, we are happy that, thru the book drive that we organized in our workplace, we were able to contribute to the development of children’s emergent literacy for the kids at Children First Head Start and at the same time, provide free books at our workplace so that we can read at work during a break or at home.

Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without the help and contribution of the entire staff of DMSI International.

DMSI Cares: Donation Drive at Work

At DMSI International, we believe that donating used items is a great way to help others and the environment.

All year round, we set up a station in our workplace where employees can donate used items such as clothes, shoes, and accessories. These items are then sent to the Philippines care of DMSI Philippines.

Our goal is always to help people in need, especially the people in the far-flung areas that deserve our attention; we believe that donating used items is one of the great ways to do it.

By encouraging our employees to donate perfectly serviceable condition items, we’re contributing to a more sustainable economy by reducing landfill waste and creating less demand for new clothing, for example, thus reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released.

Their success is everyone’s success!

DMSI Cares: All-Faiths Foodbank

By Patrick Alexander, Director of HR

At DMSI we look for ways to give back to our communities, either in Sarasota or the Philippines. Yesterday, I was able to volunteer at the All-Faiths Foodbank in Sarasota to help pack boxes of food to be delivered throughout Sarasota County. I love helping, and I am so grateful that I work for a company that does the same.
