煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　帝國煙草集團向一個幫助非洲學校的慈善機構捐贈了300多臺電腦顯示器和許多激光打印機。

　　帝國煙草發出此次行動后，非洲IT學校（IT Schools Africa）把這些設備從帝國煙草位于英國布里斯托爾的舊總部辦公室運走，并把這些設備分別送到津巴布韋的各所學校中。

　　帝國煙草新的全球總部辦公室配備了新的IT設備，意味著當前的某些技術設備已經不再需要了。

　　“得知我們將擁有大量的顯示器后，我們希望能保證這些顯示器得到充分利用，”企業中心的IT經理托尼·里卡德說。

　　“該慈善機構要求捐贈學校里用的平面顯示屏，我們認為這是對冗余設備非常有價值的的重復利用。”

　　“得知不用把這些設備處理掉，而且能將其用于慈善事業，令我們感到非常高興。”

　　非洲IT學校的羅恩·皮爾斯說，他的慈善機構非常感謝帝國煙草的慷慨捐助。

Imperial Tobacco Gives Equipment to IT Schools Africa

　　The Imperial Tobacco Group has donated more than 300 computer monitors and a number of laser printers to a charity that helps schools in Africa.

　　IT Schools Africa took the equipment away following Imperial's move from its former head office in Bristol, U.K., and has distributed it to schools in Zimbabwe.

　　Imperial's new global head office has been equipped with new IT equipment, which meant that some of the existing technology was no longer needed.

　　"Knowing we'd have a large number of monitors available, we wanted to ensure they were put to good use," said Tony Rickard, corporate center IT manager.

　　"The charity was running an appeal for flat screens for use in schools, which we considered a very valuable re-use of the redundant equipment.

　　"It is great to know that rather than being disposed of, the equipment is being used for a good cause."

　　Ron Pearce, of IT Schools Africa, said his charity was very grateful for Imperial's generous support. Enditem
