Cobra CRM
We help organizations in the education, non-profit, and business market to optimize their business processes by implementing Salesforce products.
We at Cobra CRM enjoy our jobs, and we work hard to bring a smile to the faces of our customers. However, we challenged ourselves to not only make our customers happy but also to have a positive impact on the people that live around us. Therefore, we pledge 1% of our time to bring smiles to the faces of those who live in our local neighborhood.
During our VTO time, we visited Abdi in his workshop. Abdi was born in Somalia and because of the war, he fled to the Netherlands when he was 11 years old. After being active in the criminal circuit and being homeless he now runs his workshop. Here he welcomes homeless people to work in his workshop and to create pieces of furniture.
Personally, I was very inspired by Abdi’s determined decision to change his life. In the Netherlands, it is hard to reintegrate when your past is not what it is supposed to be. However, his persistence and deep motivation have brought Abdi where he is now, a local entrepreneur who inspires other homeless people to make better decisions. This is someone we can learn from a lot!
After the visit to the workshop, we went karting with the homeless people. It was great to see that during this activity our two worlds came a little closer. By competing in a game, we got along with each other and learned about our different lives even more. When one man said that this afternoon was one of the highlights of the year, we were honoured and glad that we could make this happen for those who don’t have much to look forward to in life.
This VTO time inspired us to build bridges and to care for others. Although our worlds may look very different, in the end, we’re all human beings who want to bring a little love into the world.
