3M Global Volunteer Day
Every year, 3Mers in global locations come together to improve lives as part of our annual Global Volunteer Day. And that’s just one of the many ways that we work to make our communities better places for us to live in.
On the 14th of August 2019, 3M Malaysia partnered with MySkills Foundation to host the 3M Malaysia Volunteer Day event. The committee organized an “Explorace” for the students of MySkills as well as 3M Volunteers. Designed to encourage interactive learning and the spirit of teamwork, the “Explorace” consisted of activities such as landscaping, wall mural painting and 4 mini science games.
At the end of the day, MySkills’ students and 3M volunteers got to bond over the activities and learn valuable lessons in teamwork. Through effective communication, all the teams successfully completed the challenges and everyone walked home a winner.
