Whirlpool...

Fri-Sat 12-13oct
On location in Hajdu…Levi and I joined Hajdu project manager Sandor and Csurgo project manager Peter to supervise framing of two duplexes with a 50+ member international team from Whirlpool. Each of us coached/supervised a unit… that would be three Hungarians and wee me… yet another opportunity to reach, teach and learn. I was honored by the trust and respect inherent in assigning me an independent section of the group to work with, and the opportunity to see more of the building process… each affiliate manger has their own style, as do I [smile].

The weekend was a success on all levels: team building, teamwork, expanding connections and understanding of HFH among them. Whirlpool employees apply for the opportunity to participate in this and like programs sponsored and subsidized by the company; members of this team came from South Africa, Italy, Scotland, Britain, Finland, and more. They were a fun-loving and hard working group; at the end of the two days, one duplex was fully framed and the second well on its way. The donation of hands and time is a gift in any context, and especially meaningful with this group, as an opportunity to meet and put names and faces to a few of the employees of this company that donates appliances to HFH home recipients worldwide while working on site, “completing the circle” in a sense.
