Genistar believes in making a difference in people’s lives. We support many causes on a company level and our representatives and teams also continue the generosity by supporting their own preferred charities.
2-Way Radios for Filipino School Children
During lockdown, San Antonio Elementary School, in a remote part of the Philippines, had a problem: The children couldn’t attend school, neither did they have access to the internet. The solution was two-way radios, but they had only 7 sets to rotate among 158 students and their teachers. Genistar’s Eagles Team (led by Arvin and Genevieve Burgos) raised enough to purchase 250 radios and 3 booster antennas – Enough for every child to be able to keep up with their schoolwork.
CEO’s Book Being Taught in School
Jeff Lestz was orphaned at a young age. As a troubled teenager, he moved from the city of Chicago to Elkville, a small town in Southern Illinois, where his life began to turn around. Jeff remembered the town and his former high school when he published his book about his life story. He donated copies to the local library and to the high school. The school is now using his book to teach lessons about overcoming adversity. He hopes his life story will inspire others to not give up when things are tough. Read more Here.
