Christmas time is one of the most heart-warming periods of the year; no wonder that the desire to give is at its peak this time. Whether as individuals or companies, we are happy to give to others. It\u2019s typical in the business sector that both clients and service providers send small gifts, sweets or wine in gift box to each other at this time of the year. It\u2019s indisputable that these are nice gestures, but it\u2019s worth considering whether this gesture creates a real value.<\/p>\n

This year BPO has decided to donate the amount intended for such gifts for the support of a charity project.<\/p>\n

How should companies select an organization or cause?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donation is undoubtedly based on trust, so first we asked our colleagues to recommend causes on the basis of their personal experiences. In addition that we think it is important to involve our colleagues in such decisions, it is also import to ask them because in this way, we can select from recommendations with personal attachment. We know where the donation actually goes. With the help of the contacts, we could get to know specific projects and can see what the donation will be spent on.
\nAnd here comes the most difficult and most beautiful part as well\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is difficult to choose from recommendations that touched our heart even if we include several of them to BPO\u2019s CSR activities. After stump speeches and thorough investigation, the choice was made easy for us when we realized that the considerations of Wesley J\u00e1nos Elementary School<\/strong> and ours meet and it was a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"We found this really forward-looking idea on which the kitchen project of the school<\/strong> is based through the maintainers of the school, Oltalom Karitat\u00edv Egyes\u00fclet (Charitable Association). This school where disadvantaged children living in extreme poverty are educated would like to look at donations in a different way \u2013 not as ad ad hoc possibility, but as the first step to self-maintenance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a significant help for these organizations, donations cannot be planned and sometimes not even pragmatic, but if there is a proper business plan, which Wesley J\u00e1nos Elementary School has, donations may mean a way out from this vulnerable situation. They would like to renovate and transform their existing kitchen that is now only for warming up food to be able to cook food as well, so that \u2013 to point out only two of the main purposes \u2013 children could get quality food and due to food delivery service, they could make profit as well to make the economical operation of the school more predictable and less dependent.
\nWhat they already have:<\/strong><\/p>\n
