Orphans Receive Extreme Makeover

Published by jeanette March 20th, 2007 in General, Cool stuff we're doing, Training Blog

Three times a year, aspiring SAB Sales Managers gather at the SAB Training Institue to embark on a two week leadership journey - The Sales Leadership Programme. This is one of the exciting leadership programmes run by Ashley Lovell, SAB Learning and Development consultant from Marketing Sales & Distribution. Avocado Vision project manage this exciting programme, amongst others.

The programme in February saw Ashley and his Sales Leadership Programme delegates, together with Avo and Chris Vind from Corporate Adventures, getting together at the Mother of Peace Orphange in Northriding to take on an Extreme Makeover Teambuild.

The orphanage in desperate need of repairs was the lucky recipient of an extreme make over organised and executed by Chris (Corporate Adventures), Avo, Ashley and his delegates.

Gutters were put up, a water storage tank erected, paving laid, grass laid, shade cloth shelter erected, jungle gyms repaired and painted (even the rocking horse got a creative new look!!)….

There was even time at the end of the day to relax around the braai and have a couple of well deserved beers.

The kids were absolutely thrilled with the attention that their home received.

Well done everyone!!

It is always such a privelege to be involved with events that achieve business objectives and serve the community in powerful ways at the same time. The way of the future has to be more of this kind of work.

I’m so proud of you all: Ashley, Chris, Jeanette and the rest of the team that inspired yourselves to be part of healing this country!

It was an amazing day and the SLP delegates really embraced the learning outcome for this initiative and experienced a real sense of giving back to their community. A real shift, not only in perspective, but in behaviour took place and most found it an invaluable learning experience.
