Essroc Created After-School Programs for Youth Education in Dorado, PR

ESSROC Honored for Role In Youth Education Project

Dorado, PR -- The Municipal Government of Dorado, Puerto Rico recently recognized ESSROC for contributions to a youth education program at a local school. San Juan Human Resources Manager, Rolando Melendez, was honored on behalf of ESSROC for company efforts, which enabled the program, called "Mi Escuela Amiga" (School Is My Friend).

Housed in the Pedro Lopez Canino School which neighbors the ESSROC plant here, the new program is the result of an initiative to give local students an after-school facility with opportunities to learn and recreate in a safe and wholesome environment. The Mi Escuela Amiga program provides computers and techno play stations, billiards and other recreational options. Also, the non-government program "Hogares CREA" dedicates all their effort towards the rehabilitation of drug addicted young people.

The citation honoring ESSROC's role thanked company officials for its "Gran Generosidad a Nuestra Sociedad" (Great Generosity to Our Society).
