| Employees of Air Products Indonesia (API) at Bambe - East Java recently spent a day to improve conditions of the local school by painting walls, building a fence and cleaning the school surroundings. The school, built in 1916, has not been painted for several years due to limited funding. Five children of our employees attend the school. Twenty-seven employees volunteered to show the Air Products spirit and the company's commitment of supporting the communities in which we operate.
API has been paying yearly tuition fees for 300 students for the past several years. This year, besides the work described above, API intends to provide additional assistance by providing textbooks and supplies to the school. The local principal, Ibu Asmaningsih, commented, "This is the first time a company in the area sponsored such an event" and hopes that the Air Products Indonesia employees' example will be followed by other companies in the area.
