Building Bonds and Wheelchairs: A Successful Team Building Session with GitHub

Imagine the picturesque shores of Goa during the monsoon, where the GitHub India team gathered at the plush W Goa resort for a distinctive team-building event. Engineers and AI analysts from across the nation embarked on an activity that perfectly blended fun, camaraderie, and significant social impact.

The day kicked off with vibrant, energizing activities that helped break the ice and open lines of communication. These initial games set the stage for a day marked by collaboration, creativity, and collective purpose.

The main event was a hands-on challenge: building wheelchairs from scratch. Energized by the task, teams delved into understanding the requirements, strategizing roles, and meticulously assembling each wheelchair, ensuring they were not only functional but reliable.

The culmination of our hard work was deeply rewarding. The wheelchairs were donated to the Missionaries of Charity in Madgaon, destined to make a real difference in the lives of elderly residents there.

Reflecting on the event, it was more than a team-building session; it was a profound lesson in empathy, social responsibility, and the remarkable things we can achieve together. This transformative experience reinforced our bonds and inspired us to extend our impact beyond ourselves.
