Our dedicated team of analysts from Large Corporates (LC) spent a whole day at Caritas' “Am Himmel” day centre, a day center for people with disabilities (e.g. autism or down syndrome). By building a much-needed fence around an orchard, this event highlighted our dedication to community service and provided a valuable team-building and collaboration experience. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, as we rolled up our sleeves and got hands-on with gardening work and building a fence.

• A Day of Purpose and Impact: With a team of eleven participants, we arrived early and motivated. The primary goal of this project was to create a safe and secure environment against wild boars, ensuring that the people can enjoy outdoor activities safely.

• The Inspiration Behind the Initiative: This project originated from an empowerment workshop of our analysts. They identified a unique opportunity to combine team building with community support, recognizing that working together on a meaningful project could strengthen our team dynamics through collaboration while making a positive impact.

• Donating and Collaborating Hand in Hand: Throughout the day, team members from different industry teams and countries collaborated with a common goal. Not only did we donate the raw materials for the fence, but we also participated actively in its construction. Tasks included digging post holes, setting up fence posts, and attaching the fencing material. Additionally we helped with weed disposal and collecting fallen fruits.

• Looking Ahead: Inspired by the success of this event we encourage everyone to join similar occasions to support. Together we can achieve more and make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and to Caritas for having us. We’re looking forward to more opportunities to make a positive impact together!
