In a community project in Germany focused
mainly on children called Aktion für die Region (Action
for the Region), Alcan Singen supports six local projects
through a combined financial contribution of US$36,000.
Alcan has a deep and vested interest in the well-being of
the community, the region and the town of Singen, which, interestingly,
has a large population of foreign and non-European residents
who do not speak German.
The initial intention was to fund five projects at US$6,000
each. However, the overall response to the project and the
number of proposals was so overwhelming that the Singen Management
Board opted to fund six projects and donate a total of US$36,000.
A committee consisting of members of Singen management and
the Works Council selected the following community projects
for funding assistance:
| A children's home: Kinderheim St. Peter und Paul Singen; |
| A school for mentally handicapped children Sonderschulkindergarten
für geistig behinderte Kinder Lindenhain Singen; |
| A logopedical play school Sprachheilkindergarten Singen
(Project Clown); |
| Academic help for foreign children Verein zur Förderung
der Vorschulerziehung/Hausaufgabenhilfe für ausländische
Kinder Singen; |
| A home for women in need Frauenhaus Singen; |
| Sustenance assistance for people in need Singener Tafel. |
Alcan Singen's management is confident that these choices
are representative of the region's needs and demonstrate Alcan's
commitment to social responsibility in the area.
