As our company grows bigger the idea of helping others grows stronger. In 2004, when the Tsunami hits Asia, we help, for the first time, by sending gloves to the rescue staff.
Since we bought our office and warehouse in Partille 2003, we have hired a crew of users, people who need a personal assistant to be able to go to work. They have minor duties, but they get a sense of meaning and fulfilment in going to work every day. Small steps but at least something.
The one thing that I am the most proud of happens in 2005. A very severe earthquake hits Pakistan on the 8th of October. Around 85,000 people dies and 4 million become homeless. Since we just a few months earlier had sent gloves to Indonesia, one of our staff suggests that we should do the same thing again.
However, just sending gloves or money doesn't feel right. How to make sure that it ends up where it should? Could we do something that would be good for the region as well as good for us? To find out what can be done, I contact Business Sweden to see if they have any suggestions. Through them we get into contact with SIDA, the Swedish International Development Cooperation and a project is started.
This will be an exciting journey.
