AVG Kenya supports education in the country

At the beginning of June 2008 Tomáš Vejmelka, AVG Reseller Account Manager, visited the Healthcare Center in Itibo, Kenya and handed over the AVG donation of 500 pens for the local primary school.

The Healthcare Center and Maternity Hospital in Itibo is a humanitarian project run by ADRA Czech Republic since 2006. The center provides local people with a wide range of medical services from a simple medical treatment to surgery operations. It is funded from the public resources and donations.

 The AVG pens were delivered to the Matutu school, an educational center near Itibo, by the ADRA project leader Aleš Bárta. Stationery and writing material are the goods that  school children miss the most. The donation was provided by the AVG Technologies s.r.o. through the Kenyan AVG Distributor, Interactive Technology Limited, that took care of the production and branding.

 Through the Healthcare Center in Itibo, ADRA also provides a humanitarian aid to the refugee camp in Ekerenyo, which was established by Kenyan government during the post-election violence in January 2008. Most of the temporary inhabitants were driven out of their homes and their houses were burnt down. There are currently about 2000 people living in the camp, 600 of them are children, mainly orphans. To cheer the children up the teddy bears from private donations were distributed among them.
