Global Challenge

In June 2011, 64 dedicated RB employees from 33 different countries met in Brazil to take part in Global Challenge 2011. This was RB’s third Global Challenge and, as expected, this demanding event was bigger and better than ever before!

Global Challenge 2011 participants took part in two very different challenges in remote regions of Brazil. Half the group completed a 75km trek through the mountainous Chapada Diamantina area. The rest volunteered on a community project to renovate two creches for vulnerable children in Petrolina. 

Part of the challenge was to raise vital funds for Save the Children. Participants raised over £353,000, smashing our target of £300,000! These funds will support our programmes in Brazil,
Angola, Tanzania and India.

We caught up with some of the team to find out more about their experiences.

'I have a little girl myself and experience the added value of a crèche on a daily basis. Looking back I can say this has been a life changing experience for me and has put our luxurious daily lives into perspective. I am glad to know the two rebuilt creches are a real asset for the local community. Providing the children and their parents a chance on a better future with the creches as a safe & healthy cornerstone.'
