More than 1,500 school children in England are learning lifesaving skills thanks to a collaboration with the Hampshire County Council, New Forest First Aid Training and a £20,000 donation from ExxonMobil Fawley.   The Mini Medics course includes an introduction to first aid, how to perform CPR and guidance procedures for helping someone who is choking or having an asthma attack.   “Thanks to ExxonMobil Fawley, we are already making significant strides in delivering lifesaving training to thousands of students across Hampshire, who will no doubt share their newfound knowledge with their families too," says Sarah Pestridge, a New Forest First Aid provider. #MiniMedics #ExxonMobilFawley #LiveSavingSkills #ExxonMobilGiving

Sea turtles in Guyana have inspired a new children’s book, “Arya Takes A Swim,” teaching youth about marine life conservation. 🐢   ExxonMobil Guyana partnered with Environmental Management Consultants to publish the book, named after Guyana’s First Lady, Arya Ali.   ExxonMobil Guyana and the Turtle Conservancy, have tracked turtle movement around the coast since 2018, gathering data on Guyana’s Shell Beach. 🐚🌊   On #WorldTurtleDay, we celebrated by distributing over 12,000 copies of the book to 500 primary schools across Guyana. 📘   #ExxonMobilGuyana #ExxonMobilGiving #EnvironmentalProtection

🤝 Building community connections with the Community Summer Jobs Program (CSJP)! Each year, the ExxonMobil Foundation sponsors the CSJP, connecting Houston-area non-profits with college interns to gain professional experience during the summer. We recently kicked off this year's program, welcoming 35 young professionals. The opening event included activities to meet each other and representatives from the organizations they will support. The day also featured a keynote speaker, fun ice-breaker games and workforce development sessions to sharpen their skills!

In Arkansas, our community ties are blossoming! 🌸   We’re excited to share highlights from our participation in this year’s Magnolia Blossom Festival. ExxonMobil’s new lithium business is deeply rooted in community involvement and we were proud to serve as sponsors for this exciting event!   Our very own Remi Loiseau and his colleagues embraced the local spirit, passing out steaks and souvenirs. This festival was not just fun; it was an opportunity to connect with the community about our plans to produce lithium from saltwater brine, bringing forward a North American critical mineral supply straight from Arkansas.    “Everyone here is excited about lithium and the economic opportunities it could provide,” said Rachel Jenkins, executive director of the Magnolia-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce.   And as Remi puts it: “The festival’s a great example of how we don’t just work in a community…we work to become part of a community.” 🧑🤝🧑   #ExxonMobilGiving #MagnoliaBlossomFestival #EVs
