Como respuesta a las graves inundaciones que a principios de marzo afectaron a la comunidad de Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires, nuestro equipo de Knight Piésold Argentina se sumó a un esfuerzo colectivo para apoyar a las familias afectadas. Nos unimos a la Fundación Banco de Alimentos Mendoza para reunir insumos esenciales. Nuestros colaboradores aportaron alimentos no perecederos, productos de limpieza y ropa de abrigo, mientras que la empresa contribuyó con ropa de cama y abrigo adicional para reforzar esta ayuda. En Knight Piésold Argentina, creemos que nuestro trabajo va más allá de crear un impacto positivo a través de nuestros proyectos de ingeniería para contribuir activamente al bienestar y progreso de las comunidades donde operamos. Ser parte de este esfuerzo colectivo nos recuerda que nuestro mayor impacto surge a través de la solidaridad y el trabajo en conjunto. Estamos agradecidos por la oportunidad de contribuir junto a tantos otros en este proceso de recuperación. #SomosUnSoloEquipo #ApoyoComunitario #AyudaInundaciones #Argentina #BahíaBlanca

Last week at this time, we had the privilege of assisting Mbeko Eco Club in a #rivercleanup in Kaalspruit #Tembisa, joining hands with the community to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team showed up to support, working alongside volunteers and local residents to restore this vital water source within their community. In addition to the clean-up, we engaged with learners from 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 and 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, hosting interactive talks on #STEM careers and the role of engineering and science in environmental #sustainability. Seeing the students' enthusiasm reaffirmed the importance of investing in education and conservation. A big thank you to Mbeko Eco Club, for leading this initiative and to everyone who took part!
