Volunteer services range from helping reconstruct the community's culture, taking care of the elderly and physically handicapped, teaching English and extracurricular activity classes to school-age children, raising awareness on topics such as hygiene, safety, and healthy living, to setting up and maintaining a community library. The range of volunteer work doesn't surprise Koenig: "People do what they can do best," he said. "It’s not just doing work there. I believe when these employees come back, they've also learned leadership, they've learned how to organize and help, and they've learned how to get to know each other well." In fact, two Bayer employees who volunteered in Sichuan got to know each other so well that they are now married. Koenig smiled when recounting the story. As for the impact of Bayer Cares on people in Sichuan, Koenig pointed out that it has not only brought practical help, but shown people in the community that others are taking care of them, and are willing to work with them to help them get back on their own feet. These acts have shown Sichuan people that there is "continuous care" from people who live far away or live in a very different city.
