Gift a Livelihood
About “Gift a Livelihood”
In this meaningful team activity, teams sufficiently equipped with tool kits
are challenged to put together a humble rickshaw. Be forewarned, it is not as
simple as it looks.
In an emotional finale, these rickshaws are then donated to specific NGOs/
unemployed youth, who drive away not just with a rickshaw but with a lasting
source of daily livelihood. What a way for the team to create a long-lasting impact!

Yes, we break the team to smaller groups of 6-8 people to ensure everyone is engaged. Team members would need to switch roles and take up additional responsibilities during the course of the challenge. This keeps everyone engaged.
For this activity, no setup is needed. An empty ballroom/conference room that can accommodate the said number of participants is all that is required. The building of bicycles is done without any furniture around. Usual seating for the conference can be as and how the client likes.
In all experiential activities, the teams participating don’t necessarily have to succeed for the learning outcomes to be achieved. Having said that, 80% of teams doing this activity succeed in varying degrees.

We need a high energy program which makes each member truly belong to the team”. This was the brief we gave to FocusU team. We were glad we decided to go with them because all the activities that the team did were high on energy with a specific focus in mind. At the end, we came out as a better team, knew so much about each other. There was lot of trust, bonhomie and 'can do' attitude at the end.

FocusU did a great job of helping us pick the activity to suit our organization, which has people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Not only did the team guide us in choosing the best fit, they also went an extra mile to understand our organizational objectives, time constraints and varying expectations to tailor make sessions that everyone enjoyed to the hilt!

We were initially apprehensive on how the team building event would play out, as we had not worked with FocusU earlier. However, FocusU exceeded our expectations; they did a wonderful job in bringing together a diverse group of people. At the end, there were only smiles and laughter. A special mention for “Pixel Challenge” – the painting that we created as a team, is something we proud of!
