There were over 140 volunteers at this OmnicomCares event to help the Detske Centrum Orphanage, so it’s no surprise there are so many great pictures. Here are a few more we’d like to share with you that show what a difference we’ve made in the lives of these children. It’s really something to be proud of.
As promised, here is yet another gallery of everyone’s hard work from the August 20th OmnicomCares clean-up at Detske Centrum Orphanage.
The August 20th event at the Detske Centrum Orphanage was literally unbelievable! Over 140 members of the Omnicom family showed up to volunteer their time & repair this state-run orphanage. In fact, many volunteers are already asking about going back and “finishing” the work we didn´t get to accomplish the first time around. Even a few initial skeptics became enthusiastic supporters the minute we started to all pitch in. It reminds me of something Dennis Hewitt said to me one day here in Prague: “success has many children”.
We would like to thank everyone for all your help and support in this. Without your input, we would not have made it to this stage, and had such an overwhelmingly successful event. For the first time in the more than 13 years I’ve spent working for Omnicom companies in Prague, I truly feel that Omnicom as a whole has a real presence here, a real face, providing real value to the local community. It has been a pleasure to be part of this inspiring group of companies!
Please stay tuned, as there will be a follow-on event to finish up the work at the Detske Centrum Orphanage. We will post developments here as we solidify plans for the next day of events. In the meantime, we will also be uploading pictures here of the day’s events over the next few days.
Thanks again, and please click below to see the first few pictures from the event!
We now have an easy way for everyone to participate in the September 14th Photo Auction. On the Say It Loud website, there is a link to submit your photo(s) for a vote. Just as a reminder, the theme of the photos should revolve around “How Young Children Communicate”. More information on how you can participate both before and during the auction can be found at Say It Loud. As always, we’d like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and participation, and look forward to making a difference in the lives of these young children.
