10.01.2022 One of WDEA Works values is Innovation. We were proud to hear about this selfless act from our Portland DES Team Leader Leanne, who demonstrated innovation to bring joy to others. When I received the WDEA Works voucher (all staff received a thank you voucher for all their work this year), I knew that I wanted to use this to bring a smile to others. ... My youngest son is in his last year of primary school and the school and teachers have been great to us and I wanted to show them our gratitude. I knew this was the perfect opportunity to give back. I gave the voucher to the principal who used it to purchase all the teachers lunch from a local café. I knew they would appreciate the gesture and it made me happy to be able to share the voucher with others. said Leanne Pictured is Leanne’s son with his principal and teacher. He made a presentation before the lunch thanking the teachers for all their work. *Story and photo was before the latest restrictions
