Telus VP named GK Nation Builder

MANILA, Philippines - Warren Tait, Telus International Philippines (TIP) vice president for Application Management and Information Technology Services, was recognized with the Gawad Kalinga (GK) Nation Builder award. He has been supporting Telus-GK community projects since October 2007 by organizing team members to build homes and host livelihood activities. Last year, Warren participated in the GK Bayani Challenge in Cebu, traveling to a remote location to build a community of houses in just five days with a team of TIP volunteers and residents of the Telus-GK village.

“It is an honor to be given this recognition. I consider the Telus-GK communities a huge part of my life. I’m truly happy I am able to lend a hand and help build homes in partnership with residents of the community where we work, live and serve,” Warren said.

TIP has built 55 homes and a three-storey multi-purpose hall in its first Telus-GK Village in Pook Masagana, Quezon City and plans to complete 125 houses in Batasan Hills’ Telus-GK Village 2 by the end of the year.
