Cisco’s Time2Give program allows staffers five
days paid leave to volunteer. For client-services
manager Matthew Wright that’s meant stints
in Africa and Asia for Habitat for Humanity.
In 2017 the Indiana Army vet helped construct

he bonded with local kids. “They’d play soccer
in the road, barefoot, on dirt and rocks,” says
Wright, who’s planning a 2019 trip to the small
African country of Lesotho. “We’d teach them
games we play here—duck-duck goose was
a new one. I’ve got pictures of us all sobbing
when we were leaving.”CISCO (# 22 )
