Some Inspiration for the Holidays

Editor’s Note: While VISAGE rebranded to VERDAZO in April 2016, we haven’t changed the VISAGE name in our previous blog posts. We’re proud of our decade of work as VISAGE and that lives on within these blogs. Enjoy. On September 26, 2012, VISAGE client (artist and adventurer) Mike Elliott embarked on a five week trek with the objective of reaching the Mt. Everest Base Camp (a humble 18,000 feet). Along with 9 other individuals from Canada, this “Young and Breathless” team had more than simply reaching the Mt. Everest Base Camp on their minds. The team was working towards raising the necessary funds for the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation to establish a new computer lab at the Zeke O’Connor School (150 students) in Phaplu, Nepal, a very remote and underprivileged region. Total estimated project cost was $20,000 CDN. The original plan for Mike and his teammates was to begin a trek over 12 days with the objective of reaching Everest Base Camp. Tragically, on the morning of the team’s arrival in Kathmandu the team learned that 19 people had died on a flight to Lukla (the starting point for the trek). This news, in addition to poor weather conditions, meant...

VISAGE’s Loonie Approach to YYC Tech Gives

Editor’s Note: While VISAGE rebranded to VERDAZO in April 2016, we haven’t changed the VISAGE name in our previous blog posts. We’re proud of our decade of work as VISAGE and that lives on within these blogs. Enjoy. VISAGE had a great time at the YYC Tech Gives Foodbank Challenge last week – thanks for making it happen! This year, we’ve adopted a loonie approach for supporting the food bank. When trying to determine “how much should we give to the Food Bank?“, the VISAGE team came up with a metric that serves as a challenge to other companies. We have donated $1 for every day of the year, for every employee, which rounds up to a contribution of $3,000 for 2012. Care to match us? Thanks again for everyone’s efforts this year!

Editor’s Note: While VISAGE rebranded to VERDAZO in April 2016, we haven’t changed the VISAGE name in our previous blog posts. We’re proud of our decade of work as VISAGE and that lives on within these blogs. Enjoy. On December 4th, Brad and I will be at the Calgary Food Bank alongside members of Arcurve, Entero and other tech co’s for a “building a hamper” challenge. The VISAGE team will pit our capable and nimble selves up against 10 other teams from local tech companies for a surprise challenge … something like preparing hampers or bagging potatoes. The event is profiled by CBC Radio 1 hosted by Angela Knight. If you are a regular at our blog site you’ll be hungry for some analysis or at least a few stats. Here goes. Calgary 2011: over 146,000 people used foodbank, 42% of whom were children. Hunger can be a short but scary crisis: 81% of clients visited three or fewer times. It’s not just the unemployed – 35% of households needing help had at least one person employed, with incomes too low to support them. Last year YYC Tech Gives raised about $65,000 for the Calgary Food Bank. This year the...
