賦能人才，擁抱包容
位於南美的非政府組織Andar，在百靈佳殷格翰員工的支持下， 透過養雞、餐飲和足球等多樣活動，為障礙者賦權。
想像一個旨在賦予障礙者權力，舉辦各種活動的地方。在布宜諾斯艾利斯，Asociación Civil Andar（簡稱：Andar）是一家充滿熱情的社會組織，同時也是MMH Fellow。Andar與百靈佳殷格翰在南美各地區的員工攜手合作，共同發展具有包容性和環保意識的計畫。志願者參與各種活動，如提供餐飲服務、管理蛋場，以及組織足球賽，助力障礙者的成長。
在Andar眾多計畫中，Andar Catering是其中之一，主要透過口碑推廣，為多位大客戶提供餐飲服務。由百靈佳殷格翰南美地區總監助理Maria Gualazzi領導這個計畫，專注於數位發展策略、設備、團隊技能和行銷，以提高銷售額和利潤。她和其他志願參與同事一起更新了服務名稱、商號，並新增健康食品選項。實習生Shaia Quijano建立新的Instagra官方帳號，同時擴展她自身的數位策略技能支援團隊。「了解與障礙者交流時的具體挑戰是非常有趣的。我最喜歡這項工作的部分是，能向大眾展示背後充滿激情的團隊，並以更正面、更積極的方式改變敘事方式。」通過建立新的Instagram官方帳號，Shaia在六個月內吸引約500名粉絲，協助強化餐飲服務，並與潛在客戶建立聯繫。
代表獨立的雞蛋
仰賴此餐飲服務的成功，Andar現在正踏上一項新的、但相關的冒險：在布宜諾斯艾利斯的Moreno設施成立一個放養式蛋場，有14名年輕人參與。在這個蛋場裡，母雞可以自由漫步和覓食，促進動物福祉。同時，他們使用堆肥技術處理廢棄物以保護環境。Andar目前正在制定一項全面計畫，包括參與者的培訓、穀倉的建設和土地整理。
動物保健部門的公關經理Cecilia Miranda(→請參閱第36頁的訪談)，在農場發展計畫中領導一組同事，其中包括兩位獸醫。他們負責管理雞舍的建造，並培訓Andar的夥伴處理日常工作，如餵食、清潔和階段目標管理。Cecilia表示：「這個計畫採用了循環農業的原則，獸醫培訓團隊回收農場廢棄物作為堆肥，並用於他們的菜園中。」
在百靈佳殷格翰員工的陪伴下，障礙者得以完成所有任務。這同時也是Andar發展計畫的一部分，旨在協助參與者成為更獨立、自給自足的成年人，讓他們能像一般人一樣工作、體驗幸福，並引以為傲地過上有尊嚴的生活。

Andar, a South-American NGO, empowers disabled individuals through diverse activities like chicken farming, catering, and soccer – supported by Boehringer Ingelheim employees.
Picture a place where diverse activities unite, driven by the mission to empower individuals with disabilities. Asociación Civil Andar(short: Andar), a passionate social organization and MMH Fellow in Buenos Aires, teams up with Boehringer Ingelheim employees across South America for inclusive, eco-friendly projects. Volunteers participate in diverse activities, like catering services, managing an egg farm, and organizing integrative soccer matches, fostering growth for those with disabilities.
Among Andar’s numerous projects is Andar Catering, which provides catering services to several larger clients, primarily promoted through word-of-mouth. Maria Gualazzi, Country Management Director Assistant for Boehringer Ingelheim in South America, leads the project, focusing on digital strategy, equipment, team skills, and marketing to boost sales and profits. Together with other volunteer colleagues, she updated the service name, logo, and added healthy food options. Intern Shaia Quijano supported the team by setting up an Instagram account, expanding her own digital strategy skills. “It was interesting to learn about the specific challenges that come hand-in-hand when communicating about people with disabilities. What I liked most about the work was that I was able to showcase the passionate team behind the services and change the narrative in a more enabling, positive way.” By creating the new Instagram account and gaining around 500 followers in six months, Shaia helped strengthen the catering service and connect with potential clients.
Eggs for Independence
Building on the success of their catering services, Andar is now embarking on a new, yet related, venture: the organization is developing a freerange egg farm at their facilities in Moreno, Buenos Aires, with 14 young adults participating. At the farm, hens are allowed to roam and forage freely, promoting animal well-being. Composting techniques will be utilized to manage waste and protect the environment. Currently, a comprehensive plan is being developed, which includes training for participants, construction of the barn, and land preparation.
Cecilia Miranda, AH Communications Manager (→ see interview on page 36), leads a group of colleagues, including two veterinarians, in the farm project. They oversee hen house construction and train Andar personnel in daily tasks like feeding, cleaning, and gate management. “The project embraces circular agriculture principles,” says Cecilia, “with veterinarians training the team to recycle farm waste, compost it, and use it as fertilizer in their vegetable garden.”
Individuals with disabilities perform all tasks, guided by Boehringer Ingelheim employees. These acquired skills are part of Andar’s development program, aiming to help participants become more independent, self-sufficient adults who work, experience happiness, and take pride in living a dignified life – just like everyone else.
