LOOLA CSR TRIP

On 27th December 2016, a total of 16 partners from FOCUS Adventure and sister companies – CAMP CHALLENGE and Outdoor Adventures, visited LooLa Adventure Resort, an award winning eco-resort based in Bintan. It was a huge milestone for us, marking the first combined overseas CSR trip for the 3 sister companies.

Upon arrival, the team was greeted by the friendly local staff and the owner and CEO of LooLa Adventure Resort, Dr Marc Van Loo. We are extremely honored by Marc’s presence, as he introduced us to the sustainability concept that LooLa thrives and functions on, which has won many awards and accolades for the resort.

The main objective of this trip is for the team to be meaningfully engaged in a local CSR project. Together with the support and help from the staff, the team built a wastewater garden for a local household. There are many health and environmental benefits of the garden, which recycles the household’s wastewater and delivers it back cleanly into the water table. The UNICEF designed garden is part of an international research program backed by WBCSD and NUS, and we are happy to be able to contribute our part in this global project!

Each team will be tasked to build a robot together. After which they will be going through the learning session on manual controls and how to control them. This will allow their robots to be unique as compared to the rest. Their final objective will be to pit the robot that they built against man-made obstacles such as to carry items and moving from point A to point B or to going through a maze or to dance! The possibilities is endless! They will then customise a message for the children using the robots built and have it delivered to the beneficiaries.

If you are looking for an exciting challenge with a meaningful element, The Supermarket Race Challenge! will be the program for you! Teams will get to earn cash by attempting a series of challenges along the race, in a bid to earn enough money to purchase essential items for the selected beneficiary. Given a limited time and facing multiple challenges, teams will have to plan carefully and make strategic decisions to optimize their resources, and purchase as many items as possible for a good cause.
