FusionExcel Sponsors RM 90,000 Towards CyberCare ICT and Sentul Community Service Program

REPORT BY DIRECTOR LEADER SP WONG.

FusionExcel is pleased to sponsor RM 90,000 (comprising Cash and Quantum Science products) towards CyberCare ICT and Sentul Community Service Program.

CyberCare, founded by its Executive Director Mr Cheung Yuk Wai, is a community project initiated by a group of young people in Malaysia to use information technology to connect youth in orphanages and underprivileged children to help them bridge the digital divide. This project was tied up with an internship program for Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Perak Campus where they effectively apply all the learning in personal development (with Life Coach Sharmini Hensen) and ICT training to make a difference to themselves and also to those around them.

At the heart of CyberCare social program is the setting up of technology infrastructure comprising computer equipment and internet access to connect these youth into an electronic community. To date CyberCare has linked 90 Homes/Orphanages, connecting over 5000 youth. With this infrastructure in place CyberCare has implemented e-Workshops and CyberCamps to promote the use of IT amongst the youth to improve the quality of their lives.

Since its inception, CyberCare has enrolled the support from Microsoft, Samsung, National IT Council Malaysia (NITC), Swiss Development Corporation (SDC), Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP), Demonstrator Application Grant Scheme (DAGS), Symantec and Hewlett Packard among its sponsors. FusionExcel is proud to be one of its latest sponsors by sponsoring ICT training for these underprivileged children.

There are basically 3 groups of underprivileged children involved in this project. They are children from Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, Hope Orphanage Home and Jaz Homes from Teluk Intan, Perak. The objective of the program is to give an opportunity to these children to develop their full potential and confidence to bring them into society. At the end of the training, a talent time event was held on 10th April 2011 at HGH Convention Centre, Sentul to showcase what these underprivileged children had learnt.

FE's sponsored 9 years old Natasha Andrea Oon, 2 times World Junior Golf Champion was invited to the talent time show to share her experience and to give words of encouragement to these underprivileged children. The crowd was very impressed with Natasha's achievements.

During the talent time, Presidential Director Willy Toh had the opportunity to share about FE's products as well as to conduct a few demonstrations on stage. The crowd was amazed at the demonstrations and paid full attention to his interesting sharing. Even those who were outside the hall were glued to the TV screen as they watch Presidential Director Willy Toh's demonstrations from outside the hall.

We wish to thank FE Founder CEO Paul Ting, Founder Director KS Lee for their charitable hearts and to FE Management for the support of this event
