Mang Kosme empowers students with comfortable learning environments

Mang Kosme understands that having a conducive and comfortable learning environment is crucial to the development and progress of every young learner. It promotes focus, enhances attention, and supports physical and mental well-being of students. Guided by this belief, the warehouse appliance outlet store took the initiative to look into the different public-school communities to see where they could step in and help fill the void caused by unmet needs.   

After conducting an online campaign where people were asked to nominate public schools which they think deserve air conditioners, Mang Kosme was overwhelmed with an outpouring of entries. While the company aspired to provide all nominated schools with aircon units, the selection was narrowed to four public schools that shared the most compelling stories of resilience, dedication, and commitment in the face of adversity.  

The movement recognizes the significant impact of heat and humidity on the learning environment. Based on multiple studies conducted in the past, the discomfort inside the classroom makes it hard not only for the students but also for the teachers to focus. Not to mention, this kind of weather can easily drain and exhaust their energy.  

That being said, Mang Kosme launched a program called “From Bodega to Ekswela,” an initiative dedicated to donating air conditioning units to public schools. The chosen beneficiaries were Ganado Elementary School in Binan, Laguna, Silangan Elementary School in Taguig, Rosemary Daycare in Muntinlupa, and Pedro P. Cruz Elementary School Special Needs Education Department. This is a way to create comfortable learning spaces where students feel safe, inspired, and supported. Furthermore, it’s also intended to empower teachers and educators with an environment that nurtures effective teaching and learning. 

The turnover of the air conditioning units was led by Dandy Alandy from the Marketing Department of Mang Kosme, who played a pivotal role behind this meaningful contribution. As the team arrived, they were met with warm smiles and heartfelt gratitude from the students and faculty, a beautiful reminder of the difference this donation will make in their everyday learning.  

Much to the team’s surprise, several students had also prepared letters and adorable performances to express their appreciation:

Through this project, Mang Kosme hopes to contribute to the growth and learning development of these young learners.
