Hands Building Hope, Together.

Be a part of something extraordinary, where your team has a direct impact on an individual rediscovering the joys of life. In this event, a professional facilitator will provide a briefing to help your team understand the profound significance of the hand project. Following a series of enlightening educational activities with powerful videos and images, each team will assemble a mechanical hand and craft its accompanying hand-storage bag, infusing it with a touch of creativity. These hands enable individuals to perform tasks we often take for granted, such as writing, eating, and even riding a bike, ultimately transforming their lives with newfound dignity and independence.

Once teams complete their hands, your facilitator will orchestrate a powerful concluding presentation, marking the moment your team’s collective efforts transform into a life-changing reality. The assembled hands are then dispatched to a variety of charities in developing countries. The Prosthetic Hand Project isn’t just team building; it’s an engaging, inspiring, and influential way for your company to leave a lasting legacy of compassion and generosity.

"The event was a great success in our eyes. Everyone was truly engaged and humbled by The Hand Project event, from British Airways, Reed and MacKay as well as American Airlines (who also attended). I will look to engage with Team Bonding again as it proved to be a well run, impactful & fun session for all."

"The Prosthetic Hand event was one of the best sessions of our off-site meeting. I know everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and Jayson was a great facilitator. We truly appreciated the charitable aspect of this event as well as all of the videos that we were shown from previous recipients of prosthetic hands – it really brought it home how important it is for our organization to take time to give back to the worldwide community. The entire team is looking forward to hearing from the recipients of our hands in a few months (once they’ve been run through quality control of course). Thanks again for helping me set this up."
