The educational facility was constructed to be earthquake and typhoon resistant and is also equipped with solar panels to conserve energy.
The new school was dedicated in a ceremony, Nov. 5, 2014, attended by Nu Skin sales leaders and employees, and Secretary General for Singapore Red Cross Benjamin William, Albuera Mayor Ramon de la Cerna and other Albuera government officials.

Beyond donating funds to OURM, LIMU has also helped the organization upgrade their kitchen facilities and LIMU Corporate employees volunteer to help serve as many as 1,500 meals to homeless men, women and children at the Rescue Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving Banquet.
