10th Solidarity Golf Tournament fulfills its purpose and offers two computer rooms to students in Uíge
The 10th Internet Technologies Angola Solidarity Golf Tournament, held last Saturday in Luanda, broke its record for the amount raised in the auction of a single item in 10 years of activity.
The highlight of the day was Cabship's impressive donation of 5.5 million kwanzas for the auction of a canvas painted by children under the guidance of renowned artist Isabel Baptista, reflecting the spirit of solidarity at the event. The beneficiaries are pupils from two schools in Uíge who will receive two computer rooms fully equipped with computers and connectivity.
The Minister of Transport, Ricardo Viegas D'Abreu, who took part in the tournament with a golf team, emphasized the important role of ITA PARATUS in promoting digital inclusion, saying that "this tournament supports schools that so desperately need our help, so our presence
in this tournament contributes to the success of these social responsibility actions, which are always very important and contribute greatly to the sustainability of society, families and the environment in which companies operate.

"This year we are celebrating the important milestone of the tenth edition, the result of cooperation between institutions, companies and people for the development of communities, united by the same desire and spirit of solidarity to raise the quality of education in the telecommunications sector," said Francisco Pinto Leite.
