On June, 20 employees of almost all departments at DG Flugzeugbau laid down their work. Not to sit back and relax… but to participate at a “Social Day“ in the Karl-Berberich School in Bruchsal.

 

More and more companies tend to take advantage of social projects and use them as a team building event. Instead of organizing a workshop or a planning a special activity the opportunity to lend a hand to a social facility is put forward. DG Flugzeugbau, too, wanted to try something new and asked their staff to personally support such an event. In cooperation with the Karl-Berberich School in Bruchsal we initiated a “Social Day“ on June, 20.

 

 

 

The Karl-Berberich School is an all-day facility which takes care of mentally disabled children. The school therefore offers a huge open-air playground with many options for exercise and activities. As their financial situation is tight, the school relies on donations which enable the maintenance of equipment and constructions.

 

 

 

More than 40 DG staff members arrived early in the morning and were warmly welcomed by students and their teachers. After everyone was assigned a specific project the participants got eagerly started on their jobs. A new garden shack was erected while another one got some new paint, a barefoot trail was laid out and the manual water pump needed repair. Bikes were fixed, rooms repainted, furniture was built from pallets, trees and bushes were trimmed and a lot more work could be done. DG’s employees were happy to have over 70 students and their advisors help them. Together and with a great enthusiasm they worked on 10 different projects and were able to finish everything in time. At 3 pm everybody was quite excited about a big success.

During the final meeting you could make out big smiles everywhere. Everybody was more than happy about their great achievements!
