SITA MALTA and Microsoft have joined forces and donated a number of computers as well as a number of software programmes to Creche Institute in Pieta.

The 10 computers donated by SITA Malta, together with a new local area network, and the 20 Microsoft Windows and 20 Office 2010 Professional software programmes donated by Microsoft have now guaranteed that the Creche Institute is well equipped with a proper and up-to-date IT infrastructure that can meet today’s demands and help the community at the Creche, to reach out to the world.

The official presentation of the equipment was made to Mother Luciana at Angela House by Winston Pirotta on behalf of SITA Malta and Fiorella Ellul Sullivan from Microsoft Malta.

“Our scope is primarily to increase IT awareness and IT skills among the children in the orphanage, by providing an adequate IT infrastructure and through the proliferation of internet access, help generate more public awareness about the amazing work that the Ursuline sisters are doing with their children,” explained Mr Pirotta.

“We are very proud to have had this opportunity to join forces with SITA Malta and provide this new IT infrastructure to the Ursuline Creche especially at this particular time of the year,” said Fiorella Ellul Sullivan, Academic Program Manager at Microsoft Malta.

“Microsoft’s donation stems from our knowledge that today, millions of the world’s citizens lack the access and, more importantly, the skills they need to participate in the new information-based global economy to realise their full potential. Microsoft is determined to dramatically improve those statistics.”

On behalf of the Creche and the children, Mother Luciana thanked both organisations and said: “It is through generous people like SITA Malta and Microsoft, that we are able to make ends meet.”
