烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译　　帝国烟草集团向一个帮助非洲学校的慈善机构捐赠了300多台电脑显示器和许多激光打印机。

　　帝国烟草发出此次行动后，非洲IT学校（IT Schools Africa）把这些设备从帝国烟草位于英国布里斯托尔的旧总部办公室运走，并把这些设备分别送到津巴布韦的各所学校中。

　　帝国烟草新的全球总部办公室配备了新的IT设备，意味着当前的某些技术设备已经不再需要了。

　　“得知我们将拥有大量的显示器后，我们希望能保证这些显示器得到充分利用，”企业中心的IT经理托尼·里卡德说。

　　“该慈善机构要求捐赠学校里用的平面显示屏，我们认为这是对冗余设备非常有价值的的重复利用。”

　　“得知不用把这些设备处理掉，而且能将其用于慈善事业，令我们感到非常高兴。”

　　非洲IT学校的罗恩·皮尔斯说，他的慈善机构非常感谢帝国烟草的慷慨捐助。

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
