Telspace Systems and AfrikaTikkun joined forces this year at the 2016
ITWeb Security Summit to raise awareness and inspire South African
companies to sponsor deserving children in a career targeted education program.
Afrika Tikkun helps each child become
a responsible, contributing adult through education. The organisation gets involved
in the child’s life at the point of need, providing mentors, academic and
career based education, and basic human necessities.
Their goal is to remove obstacles
that would stop a child from reaching his or her full potential. Students receive
proper food and clothing, and learn in a loving, safe environment. Each child’s situation and best interests are
always considered. Sometimes that means placing the child, or even the family
in a different living situation. Afrika Tikkun always works to keep families
intact as much as possible.
Read some of their happy outcomes. Afrika Tikkun is a great way for
companies to make a difference in the community.
So, you might be wondering what
this has to do with ITWeb Security Summit
2016?

ITWeb Security Summit 2016
Recently the Telspace System Team, made this pledge:
For every ITWeb Security Summit 2016 attendee who wore a Telspace Systems t-shirt during the Summit, Telspace will give 35
Rand to Africa Tikkun to sponsor a child for a year.
We are proud to say, that’s exactly what we did.
Our goal by the end of the
Summit was to have enough to sponsor a child for one year. To our delight(and our competitors displeasure),
the attendees jumped in to support the effort. Attendees checked-in with the
Telspace exhibit throughout the event to make sure shirts were being counted.

Thanks to a combined effort
between the attendees and Telspace Staff, we are happy to announce we met
our target and have successfully sponsored a child for a year.
Telspace Systems would like to take this
time to thank the IT Web Security Summit 2016 attendees for their enthusiastic
participation. It certainly feels good to know that we’ve helped change the trajectory of
someone’s life for the better.
