This past Saturday the employees here at CablesAndKits had an opportunity to do something really amazing!\u00a0 Susan, our HR coordinator extraordinaire, notified us of an opportunity to serve our community along with an organization called Compassion in Action \/ 12Stone.\u00a0 What better way to spend a beautiful, October, Saturday morning and afternoon than serving the Gwinnett County Special Needs School?!?!?<\/p>\n

Our team met at 12Stone around 8am to sign in and change into the t-shirts that \u00a0the organization provided us.\u00a0 Then we met in the auditorium for some motivational music and speaking.\u00a0 As I entered the auditorium, I was taken back with the amount of people (around 2,200 to give you an estimate) that all chose to spend their Saturday morning serving others in our community \u00a0through several different projects.\u00a0 For me, personally, it was one of the most incredible things that I have ever been involved with, and that is an understatement.<\/p>\n

After some fellowship and song, we left 12Stone and headed to the special needs school to meet and talk about the day\u2019s activities.\u00a0 The improvements that needed to be made were:\u00a0 clearing out two storage sheds, working on the school\u2019s septic tank, clearing land for use to get a new building up in the near future, mulching the children\u2019s playground and surrounding trees, staining decks, and other landscape projects around the entrance of the school.\u00a0 We had a lot of work ahead of us, but we were all enthusiastic about what we came to do.\u00a0 Before we got to work, the CEO of our company also spoke and made a generous donation to the school.\u00a0 Everyone was quick to get to work.\u00a0 As I looked around, I saw my peers all working together all for one purpose; to help serve those who do not have the same types of opportunities that the rest of us have.\u00a0 The support that surrounded the school that day has impacted my life so greatly. \u00a0\u00a0The only thing I wished was to see the children\u2019s faces as they arrived \u00a0to school Monday morning.\u00a0 Although that was not possible I know that the children are all grateful and know that they are cared about.<\/p>\n

Below are a few pictures from the day\u2019s events.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more project blogs in the future!<\/p>\n
