Dell Services, the information management and implementation services division of Dell Corporation, donated and delivered trees to the Ideal Indian School in an effort to provide a greener environment to the pupils and school staff.
Dell Services, has been present in Qatar since June 2011, working on two important healthcare IT implementations.
Recognising the wish of employees to support local as well as international communities, the Qatar branch of the Dell Services group WISE (Women in Search of Excellence), launched a volunteering project for all Qatar based employees to raise funds to purchase trees and plant them in and around schools in Qatar.
Judit Cooke, Dell Services’ WISE Qatar Chair commented: “We chose the Ideal Indian School as our first beneficiary for the tree planting donation. We visited the school and were captivated by the active school life represented by the multitude of trophies at the entrance hall; the new building and the huge number of students (almost seven thousand) attending the school. The school premises are quite new and the landscaping is still in progress, which gave us the opportunity to make a difference for the children. It is great to see how people come together when they can if it is something that they care about.’
Richard Strong, a Customer Executive for Dell Services in Qatar said: “We now have a better understanding of each other and we are looking forward to our next event together. Dell WISE is arranging a series of presentations on IT careers and this should be a hit with finishing students, especially those in the Indian Ideal School whom are planning to study towards an IT degree.”
School officials like Hassan Kunhi MP, President, Syed Abdul Hye, Vice President and Syed Shoukath Ali, Principal were also present at the occasion.
