6,000 employees x 3 days = 18,000 days
(ASIA) Microsoft is 'donating' the time of its 6,000 Asian workers so they can get involved in projects that bridge the digital divide in their communities. Each employee will get 3 days of paid leave with the aims of enabling people access technology and a better way of living.
And here's a taste of what they have already achieved:
• established 2,200 computer centers in Asia in conjunction with governments and partners, donating money, software and its employees to do the training;
• donated $30 million in software and cash in Asia alone to build and maintain the centers, to pay for employee volunteer trips to remote locations, and finance other philanthropy projects;
• approved a grant for $8.2 million in Asia, out of worldwide grants totaling $25.5 million;
Don't know about you but I'm feeling all warm inside and I'm not even working for Microsoft!
