Avantech Ltd's 11th donation in the ongoing "A Canon printer for a good cause" was made on May 28 by Joseph Bonett, Malta sales manager, at the Avantech offices in St Venera.

The committee decided to present a Canon printer to the Malta Red Cross Society represented by director general Albert Palmier. The Malta Red Cross Society is an autonomous voluntary aid society adhering to the rules and principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The society offers various services to the community including ambulance, first aid, education, psychological support, land rescue and social work. Together with other NGOs the Red Cross also sees to the needs of asylum seekers lodged at Hal Far, Safi and Ta' Kandja.

The Red Cross also offers various educational courses on first aid, basic life support, land and water rescue and health and safety at work.

Avantech Ltd will be donating a full colour bubblejet printer to individuals and charitable and philanthropic organisations every fortnight throughout this year.

The company is asking all organisations, individuals or other institutions to write to Avantech Ltd, "A Canon Printer for a Good Cause", 212, Cannon Road, St Venera, HMR07 expressing their reasons for suggesting a person or an institution with a worthwhile cause.

The final decision will be at the sole discretion of the committee appointed by the company's board of directors. Individuals and organisations benefiting from this initiative will be announced every fortnight on the Avantech Website www.avantech.com.mt.
