Palecek team in San Remeo, Cebu, Philippines

At the start of the year, PALECEK made a donation to help the community of San Remeo, Cebu, Philippines recover from the devastating aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. In a province, where many of the structures were destroyed by the storm, the funds donated by PALECEK were immediately utilized to rebuild a public school that was damaged beyond use. “It is difficult to see all of the catastrophic destruction caused by the typhoon and it is clear significant aid is still needed from the international community for this region to recover,” said Andrew Palecek, Vice President of PALECEK. “As a company, it is important for us to invest in the people here and ensure school facilities are safe and conducive environments for education.”
