Ford volunteers are putting a special emphasis on projects that support and protect water resources, a basic necessity for people everywhere. This is in keeping with the company's corporate water strategy aimed at understanding and reducing water consumption at its global facilities and across its supply base. Global projects with a water focus this year include: ◾Argentina: Install water pipes for rural communities ◾China: Clean up coastlines and rivers ◾Germany: Construct an irrigation system at an environmental education center ◾India: Set up water purifiers for schools ◾Indonesia: Upgrade a sanitation system and install a water pump and filter for a school Also on the Ford global volunteer to-do list: ◾Australia: Make repairs at a wildlife sanctuary ◾Brazil: Renovate children's nursery facilities ◾Mexico: Remodel orphanages ◾Thailand: Conduct a recycling program and install recycled equipment at a school ◾Vietnam: Paint and repair schools In the United States, more than 1,000 Ford employees will participate in 70 volunteer projects across 14 states throughout the week. This includes a Ford Accelerated Action Day on Sept. 11, when volunteers in Michigan and Ohio will participate in community service and other projects. While the Ford Volunteer Corps is active throughout the year, Ford Global Week of Caring is the highlight of a year-round effort to flex the volunteer muscle of Ford employees, retirees and dealers to make a positive difference in the neighborhoods and communities where the company does business.
