Gen Supports Local Communities During Global Volunteer Week - Seite 2

Beautifying Our Communities

Environmental service opportunities were among our most popular this year, with ten events dedicated to opportunities to clean up local parks, neighborhoods, community gardens and more:

• Mountain View employees built native bee houses, learned about local pollinators and staffed a farm shift at the Veggielution community farm in San Jose.
• Team members in Prague, London, Bucharest and Tettnang, Germany, participated in neighborhood clean ups and community gardens.
• The Pune, India, and Brno, Czech Republic, sites planted trees in their communities.
• Dublin team members volunteered with OWLS, a children's nature charity, to create an engaging woodland space for after school programming.
• Employees in Chennai worked with Bhumi to beautify a local school and increase green cover by making 2,000+ sustainable seed balls that will be planted across Chennai.

Reaching Out to People in Need

Additional projects served some of the world's most vulnerable communities:

• In Prague and Brno, employees took part in Missing Maps, a project from the Red Cross that maps areas where humanitarian organizations can help people who live at risk of disasters and crises.
• In Toronto, volunteers packed wellness kits for people experiencing homelessness.
• In Prague, team members cleaned Palata, a nearby home for the visually impaired.
• Tokyo team members learned more about the experiences of refugees and ways to offer support with Refugee Empowerment International.

Virtually, employees worked with Africa Food for Thought to make heartfelt cards for children from under-resourced communities.
