In the programme, which aims to improve students’ knowledge about environmental protection, students will collect empty used Fristi milk packages in exchange for a basketball hoop worth more than VNĐ1 million (US$42.8) that will be provided by the company.

The programme plans to provide participating provinces a children’s playground worth VNĐ30 million each if at least 30 schools in each province collect milk packages for in exchange for the basketball hoops.

All money from selling the collected empty Fristi milk packages will be presented to schools in the programme to carry out many other activities for their children.

At the launching ceremony for the programme at Nhã Nam Primary School in Bắc Giang Province’s Tân Yên District last Thursday, Fristi handed out more than 700 gifts to students.

“Fristi’s business strategy, along with environmental protection, is to contribute to sustainable development,” a representative of the brand said. — VNS
