Hi, I'm Estelle Johannes, the Senior Director for our Regional Groups for our Technology Trade Association. I'm pleased to share that the Benelux region has selected Net4kids as the Benlux Charity of Choice and as they very well stated. We believe that every child should be given the opportunity to build his or her own future. And through this donation, we hope to make an impact and change lives. This is what we're all about. We want to make a positive impact and ensure that we help individuals, businesses, our industry and society by having a positive impact from technology. This is one of the many ways that our members play a part in guiding our trade association to make positive changes in our regions. The charities are selected by our members. So this is truly by the members for the members. So a huge thank you to you all for selecting the charity Net4kids. What a worthy and life-changing charity. Thank you.
Annelieke Brackel: Hi, my name is Annelieke Brackel and I'm the director of the Net4kids Aid Foundation. At Net4kids we believe that creating a better world starts by giving children the chance to shape their own future.
Annelieke Brackel: So with the incredible support of CompTIA, we've been able to bring IT education to young people in Africa and Asia. These are children who might otherwise have little hope for a future beyond labor or poverty.
Annelieke Brackel: So thanks to CompTIA's Investment. We've been able to support IT vocational training programs that equip young people with the digital skills they need to drive in today's technology driven world, whether it is learning basic computer literacy, programming or data skills. These children are building a foundation for careers in tech that can lift them but also their communities out of poverty. So thank you for supporting us in creating a next generation of empowered young people.
