Guest Blog: Wyndham Exchange & Rentals Visits Christel House Academy



From the perspective of: Matt Capuzzi, Vice President & Assistant Controller, Wyndham Exchange & Rentals and Jørgen Brich, Senior Director of Business Development, EVR-Alliance Team, Wyndham Exchange & Rentals  
  
On Tuesday, August 13, Matt Capuzzi and I traveled to Christel House Academy to personally deliver backpacks filled with much-needed school supplies to the incoming Kindergarten class. The backpacks were decorated by Wyndham Exchange & Rentals (WER) associates at a team-building event earlier in the year.  Our coworkers also added their own personal touch by donating children's books, toys or meaningful gifts in the bags. The group voted our bag with an Argyle-inspired design ‘Most Creative’ which earned us the opportunity to travel to Indiana and present the bags in person.
 
It was an awesome experience and quite the honor to represent WER and present the Christel House students with their new school bags. We were afforded the opportunity to tour the amazing facility and also have lunch with some of Christel House's high school students.  It was an experience that neither of us will soon forget. Seeing the kindergarten students' faces light up with excitement when we arrived and answering all of the interesting questions from the high school students was a sign that it wasn't just rewarding for us, but also the students.  It was a great way to kick off a new school year. 


Christel House means so much to our associates, and it was both heartwarming and humbling to meet some of the remarkable children that are attending the school, as well as the tremendous opportunity that Christel House is presenting them for a better life.
