Community Development

On October 20, six Masco Asia employees went to Sandu, Guizhou province, home of the Masco School of Hope, to attend the Sandu Half Marathon. The employees led a team of 18 teachers and students from Masco School of Hope in the 5K mini-marathon event. Overall, over 2,500 people attended this event.

For many of the children, it was their first time participating in the running activity, and they were very excited to attend. Masco Asia HR Manager David Shen says, “The kids love the finishing medal, and they feel motivated to live a healthy lifestyle and study hard.”

Thanks to the Masco Asia employees who volunteered their time to give the Masco School of Hope students a special, healthy experience!
