Valencia Manufacturing and Logistics Olympics 2009
In 2009, under the slogan “Say Yes to Sports and NO to drugs,” Coca-Cola FEMSA Venezuela held its first Manufacturing and Logistics Olympics in Valencia in 2009. Over a three-day period, more than 300 employees from our central offices and plants at Antímano, Barcelona, Maracaibo, and Valencia took part in basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, and other tournaments.

Since 2009, Coca-Cola FEMSA Venezuela has supported a program run by The Coca-Cola Company called Vamo’ a Jugá’ (Let’s Play). The program promotes sports and encourages children from underprivileged communities to develop their skills and discover their talents. In addition to attending baseball clinics and gaining practical experience with professional ball players, participants receive a sports kit, a printed manual with technical basics on playing this popular sport, and an attendance certificate. A series of workshops for coaches were also held. In 2009, the program reached close to 1,000 children from Caracas and elsewhere in the country, and in 2010 we expect to benefit more than 10,000 young people through the same program.

Community engagement

El Nacional in the Classroom
With the aim of promoting reading for young people and teach them about different literary genres, in 2009, Coca-Cola FEMSA supported a program called El Nacional in the Classroom. The program involved mass publication of educational material that invited readers to become aware and learn more about the various types of literature.
