ProtectStar Foundation and Symantec give Nepali Children a way to communicate

Miami, FL, USA –July 10th, 2008 -- The ProtectStar Foundation has, in joint effort with Symantec Germany and Symantec UK, donated Norton AntiVirus 2008, Norton Internet Security 2008 and Norton Ghost to the CCSV orphanage and school program in Nepal.

The children and staff at this Nepali orphanage and school will greatly benefit from this software program donation, since they now can use the Internet to communicate with other children, download educational games, and read children’s stories – all this without having the fear of a virus infecting their PC.

The ProtectStar Foundation is a unique Not-for-Profit Organization founded by the IT Corporation by the same name. Its goal is to support projects worldwide which enhance education, welfare, and health of children.

The charitable ProtectStar Foundation is internationally active in carrying out solution-oriented work to combat social poverty and lack of education provision. We also work in the fields of information technology and data security. Our work, moreover, helps to reduce the difference in the availability of computers in richer and poorer parts of the world; and thus to bridge the digital divide.

ProtectStar Foundation The aim and objective is the promotion of:

- People: help for children and young adults, the elderly, and provision of development aid

- Education, Personal and Social Development and Cultural projects

- Science and Research

- Educational Establishments for the Dissemination of IT/data security skills.

- Development aid in the form of technical aid and the supply of goods or capital

- Infrastructure development in countries with poor IT provision.

The financial support which the ProtectStar Foundation provides is aimed at alleviating human need; both economic need, but also spiritual, intellectual and physical need, by supporting projects in humanitarian, social, artistic and scientific fields.

The projects supported by the ProtectStar Foundation are developed over the short- and medium-term; while working in direct collaboration with the people who need our help. Our individual approach assists people to reclaim a secure future. Effective methods which increase people’s self-reliance and carefully-planned education and training projects are the hallmarks of the success of the ProtectStar Foundation.

The ProtectStar Foundation also gives financial support to the work of various organisations. In doing so, exchanging opinions and experiences forms a large part of our work together.
