Today I\u2019m once again thinking of how glad I am to work for a company with a strong commitment to social projects and which takes the notion of corporate responsibility<\/a> seriously. Not only for victims of the war in Ukraine<\/a> or through our \u201cRetarus Helps\u201d social activities at our Munich headquarters, providing support for both people and the environment. Retarus regularly donates laptops and computers to schools in some of the poorest regions of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was reminded of the good Retarus does when reading an email from Martin Hager, Retarus\u2019 founder and CEO, in which he briefly reported on a recent donation initiative \u2013 around a dozen notebooks previously belonging to Retarus had arrived at two elementary schools in Senegal, \u00c9cole \u00e9l\u00e9mentaire Popenguine 2 and \u00c9cole \u00e9l\u00e9mentaire Amandaye Popenguine. A local computer specialist had installed up-to-date operating systems on the devices, all which are still very usable despite having been written off. Learning applications will also be installed shortly. This will give school students the opportunity to acquire information from the internet independently and to engage with school topics and subjects more intensively. In a country where illiteracy is unfortunately above average, this could make a crucial difference in getting a better education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
