CommunityInteva Vandalia Donates $1,600 to Grant a Child’s Wish
On June 28th Vandalia employees presented a $1,600 donation check to Make-A-Wish Foundation. This Inteva employee donation will allow five-year-old Gabrielle a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Walt Disney World – her wish. As Gabrielle suffers from a life-threatening neurological disorder it is difficult for her to travel. By accepting this donation she will have the opportunity to escape from her difficult medical routine and spend quality time with her parents and brother in Florida. Each Friday Vandalia team members participate in their weekly Giving Day by donating $1 dollar to wear jeans. Each month a different charity is selected. A few times each year, though, a larger donation is made to Make-A-Wish Foundation. In order to collect more funds for Gabrielle, Vandalia hosted a pancake breakfast. Not only does this grant Gabrielle’s wish, it allowed team members to support a worthy charity during work time.

Waigaoqiao Employees Supply Local Students School Supplies & Motivation Incentive
Employees of Inteva Waigaoqiao Operations reached into their own pockets to gather cash donations to supply a local grade school class with school supplies.
The grade school, specifically meant for children of migrant workers, is in poor conditions and lacks supplies and incentives to encourage students to grow and learn academically.
Inteva employees took the $756 in cash donations and purchased supplies including water pens, pencils and test booklets. The employees then packaged the supplies into 32 gift boxes. These special gift boxes were given to each student in the class as motivation to study hard and perform to the best of their abilities for their yearly test.

Matamoros Plant 1 Employees Craft Student Desks by Using Scrap Wood
A team of ten Inteva employees from Matamoros Operations Plant 1 made a creative difference by using scrap wood pieces to craft desks and chairs for a local fourth grade class.
The team gathered scrap wood from crates in the door module production area and designed, constructed and painted 20 desks and chairs. Each chair matches and fits neatly next to each desk, giving the teacher and students the space needed for all classroom activities.
Rather than using their budget on desks and chairs, Guadalupe Victoria School, was able to purchase other necessities for these local students.
