Kidspire

On the first of July, I reached my 12-year milestone with VMware. Looking back I think one of my most memorable experiences was my trip to Vietnam to help setup computer classrooms for various orphanages.

When reaching the 12-year milestone each VMware employee gets an amount to donate to a charity of choice. I decided to donate to Kidspire Vietnam as I know there are various classrooms that are up for a hardware refresh. With my milestone donation and a personal donation, I have been able to provide sufficient funds to enable Kidspire Vietnam to refresh a single full classroom (15 Chromebooks).

With this fundraiser, I am hoping to enable Kidspire Vietnam to refresh at least one more additional classroom. The cost of a refresh is between 3500 USD and 4000 USD. Hopefully, we will be able to reach this goal between Gofundme and Brightfunds (VMware folks please use the VMware Foundation Portal).

Believe me, when I say that nothing beats seeing how much these kids enjoy learning about new technology and are able to interact with people (and distant family) over the internet, these technology classes make them feel they matter.

I would like to thank everyone upfront for donating, or considering to donate.

Thanks,

Duncan
