Global Impact Day in Manila and Cebu
Avant’s mission extends far beyond workplace excellence; it reaches into communities around the world, especially the places their healthcare professionals call home. This year’s Global Impact Day brought that mission to life in the Philippines, where volunteers dedicated their time and compassion to support children, families, and local organizations in Manila and Cebu.
Making a Difference in Manila
In Manila, Avant partnered with ChildHope, an organization deeply committed to improving the lives of children in vulnerable street situations. Their Kalyenderia Mobile Clinic travels directly into the communities that need healthcare most.
With guidance from the ChildHope team, Avant volunteers took part in:
- Health checkups
- Medicine distribution
- Health education for children
These efforts ensured that young people lacking access to essential medical care received immediate support, meeting them with compassion right where they live and play.
Supporting Young Focus: Building Healthy Habits and Confidence
Avant also collaborated with Young Focus, a nonprofit focused on education and empowerment for children living in disadvantaged communities.
During their Healthy Heroes event, volunteers played an active role in:
- Leading activities
- Engaging children in fun, meaningful interactions
- Encouraging healthy habits
- Helping build confidence and a strong sense of community
This partnership created a positive space where children could feel supported, energized, and inspired to take care of their well‑being.
Sharing Hope and Support in Cebu
In Cebu, Global Impact Day centered on a powerful mission of compassion and care. Avant partnered with Everlasting Hope, an organization that supports children battling cancer and their families.
Together, they carried out a free medical and dental mission serving:
- Parents
- Caregivers
- Siblings
- Young patients
With leadership from the Everlasting Hope team, Avant volunteers assisted with logistics, provided care support, and spent meaningful time with the children receiving treatment. Their presence offered comfort, connection, and encouragement to families navigating one of life’s most challenging experiences.
A Shared Mission: Changing Lives One Community at a Time
Global Impact Day is a reminder that meaningful change happens when communities come together with purpose.
Because of Avant’s volunteers and the local organizations that led the way, children received healthcare, families felt supported, and communities experienced hope and connection.
One community at a time, lives are being changed. And this is only the beginning.
