With the holiday season approaching, this year housing investment company SATO will make donations to the New Children’s Hospital 2017 project and the Hope Yhdessä & Yhteisesti association. The Hope association has also provided SATO employees and others working in the SATO head office building with the opportunity to buy Christmas presents for disadvantaged children.
CEO Erkka Valkila :
- Our first steps in life have an impact on how we succeed as adults, and this is why we have decided to allocate our holiday season funds to child-related activities. As we also did last year, we will support the New Children’s Hospital 2017 project by participating in its holiday season campaign and also make a donation to Hope ry, the national volunteer association working for a better everyday life for children in Finland.
- Due to a request made by our staff, there is also a Christmas tree decorated with children’s wishes for Christmas presents provided by the Hope association at the SATO building. SATO employees and employees of other companies based in the building can fulfil a wish or two, and the presents will be delivered directly to the children who made the wishes.
