The Foundation led an amazing trip to 'our' school in Kenya, focusing on leadership, IT and TAG rugby.
The partnership between the Foundation and the
School dates back almost a decade. Initially introduced by a Salesforce
employee from Ireland, the relationship quickly showed the potential to making
a lasting impact in this community.
As an added bonus we were joined by consulting partners, Westbrook International and Appichar..as well as Rebecca Enonchong from our Foundation Board.
During 2010 Summer Volunteer Weeks (August
2-31), Salesforce.com Tokyo and Osaka office dedicated more than 850
volunteering hours to the community, making a difference to the society.
