CA Technologies has provided gifted youths from disadvantaged backgrounds in Indonesia with support for their education and separately provided a donation to support children with disabilities.
The company gave eight bicycles to gifted youths to provide them and their families with safe daily transportation, enabling children to focus on their studies instead of having to concern themselves with getting to school each day.
The bicycles were built by over 40 CA employees and partners following the CA Asia South Partner Exchange from 31 July to 2 August 2016. This year, close to 30 partners gathered in Bali, Indonesia, to discuss how to harness software to win in the application economy.
“Instead of a usual conference where only business and industry-related issues are discussed, the CA Asia South Partner Exchange gave us the opportunity to give back to the local community and be part of something meaningful,” said Dustin Loh, co-founder and Executive Director, Entiis, a solutions provider specialising in IT infrastructure and security management.
“Getting together to assemble bicycles for children was one of the highlights of the__CA Asia South Partner Exchange and a unique and thoughtful experience.”
The bicycles will help children and their families from non-profit organisation Puspadi Bali to travel to school or to the market, helping them provide for their families. With the majority of these families earning less than US$25 a week, and many of the children having to travel by foot or ride in unsafe vehicles to school, the new bicycles will ideally enable the children to travel more safely and quickly. With the new bicycles, the children no longer have to worry about getting to school, or missing out on classes if they are unable to get there in time.
Fifteen children from Puspadi Bali joined CA and partners for tea, and to receive the bicycles.
As part of CA’s commitment towards STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education, CA also donated US$2,000 to Puspadi Bali’s programmes aimed at overcoming the difficulties faced by people with disabilities by providing access to rehabilitation, education, training and employment.
CA Technologies has a primary focus on advancing STEM learning. The goal is to help transform the lives of young people around the globe and encourage the development of future leaders in IT. These areas are important foundations in education as the fastest growing occupations in the next decade will require at least some background in STEM.
“CA has a comprehensive global programme that encourages volunteerism and giving back to the community where we live and work,” said Nick Lim, VP, Asia South, CA Technologies. “We are happy to work with Puspadi Bali and our partners to help youths in less privileged communities realise their untapped potential through STEM-related experiences.”
