Since 2005, Business Objects has helped the UBC Learning Exchange to carry out community service learning projects in inner city schools during the university’s Reading Week break. This year, with support from Business Objects, about 230 UBC students and 1,120 elementary school students participated in projects at inner city schools ranging from creating a quilt with social responsibility themes to teaching children how to have fun learning math to building and painting a playhouse with a Kindergarten class. This year for the first time, the Learning Exchange was also pleased to have eleven Business Objects employees engaged as leaders of community service learning projects. For both the UBC students and the Business Objects employees, the projects stimulated thinking about important social issues while making significant contributions to inner city schools in Vancouver.
