Community Assistance

Through its volunteering program MMG supports activities designed to deliver social assistance and, at the same time, the means whereby needy individuals are accorded opportunities in education, self-sustainability skills and personal improvement.  The means to promote these goals include the program’s support for self-sustaining farms and the training of community members in different skills.

MMG promotes education programs and self-support practices to achieve enduring benefits in targeted communities and to encourage similar developments in other communities.

The UNDP initiative to foster the establishment of corporate volunteering has proved successful.  Indeed, it is the goal of the MMG Corporate Volunteering program to consolidate the practice of corporate volunteering in Panama for the benefit of our communities and the country.

Donation of Layettes

Student’s professional practice
Eleven of the best students of Escuela Elena Ch. de Pinate, school adopted by the Morgan & Morgan Group, were chosen to perform their graduation year professional practice in our firm. The students received, from some of the Managers and volunteers, an introductory presentation as to the different services our Group provides. Also, a basic course on the programs used in the corporation. This experience offered the students, for their academic knowledge, an overview on the management of an enterprise.

FANLYC’s Relay Race for Life

The Morgan & Morgan athletes did 160 complete turns around in Parque Omar, placed number 20 on a list of 60 participants. It was a day of joy, companionship, solidarity, optimism and enthusiasm shared by children and grownups alike.

A Welcome party for Juan Reyes
Our volunteers organized a welcome party for Juan Reyes, “godson” of the Eduardo Morgan Foundation during the FANLYC Relay Race for Life. Juan and his mother were received by members of the Morgan & Morgan Group units. For the occasion, a Power Ranger was hired and Juan, as well as his mother, were given gifts by the members of our personnel, as an expression of their solidarity with the child, a patient of cancer, and his mother. FUNDAMOR acknowledges the generosity of the volunteers and the personnel, and their willingness to give away rays of hope to those who most need them.
