Cim Group staff also painted the school and helped prepare the Christmas party. Gifts were donated to all children, with Remise de Certificate being presented to teachers for the “Leader in Me” course. We ensured that all the children attending the school receive a decent breakfast and a complete lunch to give them energy for their physical and mental development. We maintained our donations to The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) – the largest non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Mauritius, which is exclusively concerned with the conservation and preservation of the nation’s endangered plant and animal species. Ile aux Aigrettes was also highly affected by the oil spill. Our staff participated in the Forestry Service project to re-establish plants on the islet post COVID-19. Cim Group is involved in the preservation projects to restore and maintain the historic nature of this important site. We continue to partner with this recycling NGO, who provide education to our staff for reducing, reusing and recycling waste products. Four recycle bins were placed in Cim office premises to encourage recycling. 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 40
