Employees at sponsoring companies engage with “their students” in a variety of ways.

On site, employees have:

• Tutored children
• Planned fundraising activities for special needs like medicine
• Celebrated company anniversaries and Christmas with the children
• Taken children on special outings
• Visited children in their communities and homes
• Provided technical support

Global employees have:

• Designed web pages
• Taught students the rules of cricket and how to “talk Texan”
• Viewed students singing at global company meetings
• Lunched with students when visiting the Manila office

For Fiscal Year 2006 Navitaire’s global employees committed over $46,000 in automatic payroll deductions, as well as many hours in fundraising and student activities.

“Food for Hungry Minds has been a tremendous boost to morale. I can easily make a case that the initiative has paid for itself several times over in direct benefits to the company.”

Mike Dickoff, CEO Navitaire, 2005
