During a marketing campaign for a luxury toiletery, my wife had to outsource
making of promotional brochures and flyers, meant for public distribution
at shopping malls. By chance, the work was given out to a charity called
St George Foundation, sponsored by a local bank, St George.
The work given out was to pack up the materials into the plastic bags,
a tedious task for most, but people would do for money.
When we went to collect the stuff after being informed that work
had been completed, we drove up to their locaiton in Arncliffe, in Eastern Sydney.
To our surprise, we were met by a group of intellectually challenged staffs who
actually complete the work. It was them who carried out the work! They helped us
carry the boxes to the car and load them, yelling out to each other to stack it
properly. The work was of high quality and customer service awesome, we were
really impressed.
What a work of humanity, giving pride to these otherwise marginalized group of
people in our society, sure does restore faith in humanity.
