Over 30 members from the salesforce.com Marketing and Alliances team (and a few extra friends from R&D and IT) volunteered with A Living Library to plant over 50 trees at St. Mary's Park in San Francisco.
Six visually impaired students spent the day at the Stanes office of salesforce.com for a day of bespoke training. The day was organised by Screenreader.net, an organisation that provides free reading software for those that most need it. First they discovered that the salesfoce.com platform works perfectly with reading software, then they applied and received a grant from the salesforce.com foundation which they used to help six successful applicants attend a days training at our Staines office - maybe a world first?
