Temenos Adopt-iT volunteering took a new dimension as our employees, despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, continued coaching and teaching the students virtually. Adapted to the new normal, our people dedicated more than 500 hours to be next to the students of the Adopt-iT schools, to close the digital divide and eliminate the homework gap and to continue to inspire these students to pursue their dreams and progress in their lives.
2020
We provided Covid-19 preventative kits to the students of the Adopt-iT schools that we support in India and additional kits to ten more Government schools and two Government Education Headquarters in Chennai and Bangalore, India.
Giving Students a Head Start With Our Adopt iT Program in India
It was with enormous pride that I saw first-hand the impact of the invaluable work of Temenos volunteers in India – supplying school children with modern IT equipment and encouraging them to stay in school as part of our global CSR program, Adopt iT.
Employee Engagement and Volunteering
Our Temenos employees volunteer their time and skills during the initial phase to help with the setup of the computer labs, as well as throughout the year, by providing basic IT skills training to the students, as well as tutoring to those who need it.
