Internet Solutions warms the hearts of 400 disadvantaged families

Johannesburg, 15 Jun 2005

The corporate social investment team and staff members of Internet Solutions (IS) donated 400 blankets to the non-profit organisation One In |One Out. The project, known as Operation Fudumeza, aims to provide needy people with blankets for the winter season.

"We are thankful to all IS staff at head office including the various branches for extending themselves to such a worthy course," says founder and CEO of One In |One Out, Stephen Thomas. "Due to their kind and warm heartedness, 400 lives are touched," he adds.

"IS believes in helping deserving South Africans who will benefit from a little extra," says IS marketing manager, Kate Michalaro. "We are extremely glad that we could assist the Fudumeza project in this way."

The thoughtfulness of the IS team and staff members will be remembered by the many families who are warm during this nippy winter season.
