Description

The Schiedam-Vlaardingen circle of the KIVI-NIRIA engineering network is ten years old. We want to celebrate this anniversary in a socially responsible way under the motto "Creating a global village - The shining future of internet education". During the festivities, we want to highlight the themes of youth, education, technology and sustainability. The aim of the anniversary activities is therefore to raise funds for the Ukengee Foundation so that computer education can be given at secondary schools in Tanzania.

We would like to invite you to the Charity Evening we are organising on Monday 12 April 2010 in the foyer of the Theater aan de Schie in Schiedam.

During this evening, we will offer entrepreneurs and business associates from the Waterweg area (and beyond) the opportunity to have a drink and enjoy an excellent dinner. Afterwards, there will be an auction where you can bid on appealing (art) works and curiosities. The evening will be introduced and presented by Peter Timofeeff.
Computers and the Internet have become part and parcel of our society. They have also become a basic facility in our education system. It has advanced our knowledge and skills as well as the speed and possibilities of communicating with others by leaps and bounds. As a result, our world is becoming one global village.
That does not mean it is affordable for everyone. Certainly not in East Africa. The Ukengee Foundation has set itself the goal of equipping several secondary schools in southern Tanzania with computer classrooms and internet connection powered by sustainable solar energy. The costs for furnishing, commissioning, instructing teachers and operation for the first few years amount to € 25,000 per school.

The Circle Schiedam-Vlaardingen endorses this goal wholeheartedly and has therefore chosen the Ukengee Foundation as its Charity. We aim, together with the Ukengee foundation, to provide at least one school in Tanzania with a complete installation
