The Department of Education (DepEd)
partnered with Aice Ice Cream Philippines this year to make a cheerful learning
environment for more than 95,000 students, faculties, and school personnel
nationwide. This partnership supports two of DepEd’s educational programs in
the country, the National Learning Camp and Brigada Eskwela.

The National Learning Camp is the first
learning camp of the country that aims to aid learning gaps brought by the
pandemic. During the NLC, DepEd and Aice conducted fun-filled programs and
educational activities for both students and teachers. Free ice cream was also
provided for all participants after the activities for everyone’s enjoyment.

Aice also participated in DepEd’s annual Brigada
Eskwela, a program that prepares all schools for the opening of the new school
year, ensuring that all educational materials are available and making sure
that classrooms and other school facilities are clean and well maintained in
time for opening of classes. To support this annual initiative by DepED, Aice
donated cleaning materials for the classrooms and helped clean school
facilities. Aice employees volunteered to selected schools during the Brigada
Eskwela.
