donation | The Vine

At the end of V-Indonesia 2012, THE V thought of leaving more than just amazing memories of VCON but also something that will help uplift the quality of educational services provided in public schools in Jakarta. So, in collaboration with RYTHM Foundation and with the help of the staff in QNET Indonesia, a total of 16 public schools were given inkjet printers. There were 23 printers given, all in all.

These printers were purchased by The V for the V-Indonesia 2013 registration and in collaboration with RYTHM Foundation, The V has decided to donate said equipment to said 16 public schools in Jakarta to reaffirm The V’s commitment to promote quality education for today’s youth.

QNET Indonesia has helped identify the schools, which are:

Here are some of the photos of the beneficiaries. THE V is truly happy to have made a difference in the lives of these students. 🙂

QNET, through the QNET Pays Forward program, recently made an important donation back in June 1 in the form of a seven-seat minivan to the “House of Babies” orphanage in Osh, Kyrgyzstan (a city in the southern part of Kyrgyzstan which was badly affected by ethnic conflict in 2010). The van is an important means of transportation to quickly and conveniently get sick children to the nearest hospital for medical treatment. The hospital is located in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, which is 300 kilometres away and getting the sick kids there has always been a challenge. The minivan is vital for the Osh orphange because it allows access to treatment for 154 children, of which 67 are physically disabled or suffering from AIDS.

QNET representative Bernhard H. Mayer handed over the keys of the van to the Osh House of Babies administrators while he talked to the Kyrgyz media about QNET’s dedication to this cause. The event was also joined by QNET Independent Representatives, who also talked about the company’s values and beliefs.

Below, you can find links to the extensive media coverage on QNET’s donation by some of the major TV channels in Kyrgyzstan. (The videos are in their local dialect.

“When we asked them what they needed, they said currently they have to rely on taxis or the bus service to ferry sick children to the Bishkek hospital,” Mr Mayer said.

“The 300-kilometre journey is very inconvenient, especially when sick children have to travel there regularly for follow-up treatments. As a means of transport is desperately needed, we decided to donate this minivan,” he added.
