As many of you know, in July of 2020 our beloved friend and colleague Jany Bacallao passed away in a hiking accident. Jany was special: a vibrant, loving, and curious man who lit up a room with his smile. Every person who came across his path walked away the better for it. As a world traveler, he opened himself to the people he met and left places more empathetic, connected and informed. He embodied the spirit of TCS World Travel.

To remember, honor and celebrate Jany, we at TCS have decided to make his birthday, December 10, a day for TCS employees and guests to celebrate him by finding ways to give back and do acts of kindness. Any act—small or large—is a wonderful way to keep his memory alive.

We encourage you to post about your acts on social media using the hashtag #JanyActsofKindness. This will create a repository of “good” done in honor of him that we can go back and visit over time.

We remember, honor and celebrate Jany today and forever.
