CCC Playground

Houston, Texas- (April 21, 2005) Salaried employees of Asia Chemical Corporation, Inc. (ACC) took a day out of their busy work schedules to help build a community playground at the Chinese Community Center (CCC) in conjunction with the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast (UWTGC) during National Volunteer Week.

“We always welcome the opportunity to make a positive difference to our community.” states Dr. George Yang, the CEO of Asia Chemical Corporation. “Sometimes we give with our wallets, but it is always good to give with our time. I am proud of our employees and their willingness to participate in the improvement of our community.”

National Volunteer Week, which runs April 17-23, is a time to honor people who donate their time and energy to their community and citizens. It is also raises awareness of the contributions that volunteers make to our communities and to the country as a whole. The UWTGC helped organize volunteer opportunities with their affiliated agencies and corporate donators in the honor of this special week.

The goal of this windy Tuesday morning was to finish building and implanting the playground structures, so that the wood substrate could be spread the following day. Lead by two project managers from Learning Structures, a New Hampshire based playground design firm, the wooden materials quickly transformed into a playground by the end of the workday.

The Asia Chemical employees separated to work with others from ExxonMobile and American Express in completing tasks that ranged from building a zip line to creating wooden benches. “It all started to come together. I am very excited for all the kids that will be playing here,” said Gordon Chang.

The playground will be used daily as a way to relax after the hours spent in class.
