Telefónica Europe – employee volunteering in Latin America

During the summer, eight employee volunteers from across Telefónica Europe, travelled to Latin America to teach in schools funded by the Telefónica Fundación - Proniño scholarship programme.

The Proniño scholarship programme aims to provide an education, and a chance for a better future, to children who would otherwise be sent to work.

It was billed as the trip of a lifetime - the chance to experience new cultures and, work with colleagues from across Spain and Latin America, to make a real difference to children in Latin America.

This film was created using footage filmed by the volunteers, whilst on their placements; sharing with you, the highlights from the 2008 experience.

You can also watch the video diaries of our eight volunteers.

To date, over 107,000 children have benefited from Proniño – giving them a chance for a good education, and a hope for a better future. (Last updated, January 2009).

But that’s not all we do.

Each year, Telefónica, SA invests over 50 million euros in social action programmes, and the business is currently engaged in a range of activities to promote diversity, digital inclusion, environmental and child protection.
