Spreading Hope, One School at a Time: Chelsea Logistics Champions Inclusive Education in Romblon

Romblon, Philippines (27 June 2025)– In a heartfelt demonstration of its commitment to inclusive growth and community empowerment, Chelsea Logistics, through its Alagang Chelsea program and in collaboration with its subsidiaries, successfully conducted a school donation drive at Sinapawan Cultural Minority School in Sugod, Cajidiocan, Romblon.

Employees from the Chelsea Group—including Chelsea Shipping, and Starlite Ferries—pooled their resources and provided  essential school supplies packages to all students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The package included a school bag, shoes, notebooks, notepads, pencils, ballpens, uniforms, glue, crayons, and school arm chairs all intended to support and enhance the learning journey of children in this remote community with a school population of 54 students and 4 teachers.

Reaching the school required the Chelsea Group volunteers to endure a 3-hour trek along rugged and mountain-slopped terrain, an effort they undertook wholeheartedly. Despite the challenges, the warm smiles with tears of joy of the children made every step worth it, leaving a lasting impact on both the students and the volunteers.

Commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The donation drive is part of Chelsea Logistics’ broader CSR roadmap, which focuses on education, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. Particularly, this effort aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• SDG 4: Quality Education – by promoting inclusive and equitable learning opportunities
• SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – by reaching marginalized communities
• SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – through collaboration across Chelsea Group’s subsidiaries and the municipality of Cajidiocan, Romblon

Chelsea Logistics President & CEO Chryss Alfonsus V. Damuy said: “Education is the foundation of a better future. Through this initiative, we aim to uplift young learners and empower communities who are often left behind. With every outreach effort, Chelsea Logistics reaffirms its belief that trusted brands do not just move goods—they move lives forward.”
