For many years, it has been a tradition for colleagues at CaixaBank that all employees take part in a social activity during the annual "Social Week". 

Our colleagues Beatriz Garcia Quintanilla and Sergi Periago Estornell, who joined the holding 3 years ago, are still living this tradition.

They cooked for clients at the VinziRast emergency sleeping centre.

Beatriz Garcia Quintanilla and Sergi Periago Estornell:

"Sharing one's time is the best gift you can give to others. Especially to homeless people who feel nobody cares about them. Cooking and serving food to them in Vienna's VinziRast emergency shelter was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. Thank you to Ms Elisabeth Weichselbaumer, senior volunteer at this NGO, for teaching us cooking with joy and for making us feel home. Putting a smile on the users' sad faces, and giving them the chance enjoy a warm meal, it is reward enough."
