One thing that I enjoyed working for Bloomberg is that it gives back to society by encouraging its employees to participate in social charity work. OK, this might sound a bit too close to a sales tag line in a company’s recruitment page. But that’s true though. Regardless it’s a real Corporate Social Responsibility, or another way to marketing the company image, it’s sending its employees to do volunteer work to the society in their paid hours. And I think it’s a good thing after all.
I attended one event this morning – went to a hospital (not exactly like the one in your imagination now where patience lying on the bed). It’s more like caring centre with nice decorations. And we were there to build a little “wonderland” for children whose families or themselves suffer from AIDS. They are holding a Christmas party for them and we were asked to help out with creating a little nice playground for them. It was a very interesting experiences as we not only helped to build a colourful wonderland, but also used our imagination to create games tools out from raw recyclable material like cardboard or wood sticks. And here is little creation of my colleague Frank and me – a catapult made out from wood sticks and elastic strings. Also a few painted target we cut and painted from cardboards.
