Assistance to the Red Cross
On December 26, 2004, the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering
the Indian Ocean, killing large numbers of people and inundating coastal communities across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thaila. Within 24 hours of the event, GeoFrameworks launched a program which donated 10% of all revenue to the
Red Cross. Several thousand dollars in hard cash donations was given to charitable organizations including the Red Cross. Plans are
in place to launch similar programs on an as-needed basis when tragedies occur worldwide.
Assistance for Academic Users
Students are the people who control the world's future. Students in universities around the world are using Global Positioning
System technology not only to improve business, but to improve the quality of life for all. Unfortunately, despite their incredible knowledge
and skills, students are typically limited in financial resources for their projects. To help alleviate this problem, GeoFrameworks frequently
donates licenses to academic users who need to integrate GPS and mapping systems into their university research projects. Academic users can
also generate their own six-month free trial licenses of any of our products as well.
Our Sponsored Children
In April 2007, GeoFrameworks sponsored two children via the Christian Children's Fund. Sponsorship of these children is
done on a monthly basis using a portion of all sales proceeds. Customers purchasing GeoFrameworks software will be assisting these two kids to
have a better chance of leading a successful life.
Meet Marcos and Sara from Brazil
Marcos is a spry young man born on January 15th, 2001. Sara is an adorable little girl who was born on September 29, 2001.
Projeto Alegria da Criança (Infant Happiness Project), where both of these two receive the benefits of sponsorship, is located in the city
of Caucaia in the state of Ceará in Brazil. The climate is hot and dry with an average temperature of 86°F. Drought is a problem and contributes to high
emigration, unemployment and hunger. Both Marcos and Sara live in the poorest area of the country. Homes are simple, made of plastered brick
with tile roofs and cement or dirt floors. Though the community lacks basic sanitation, most houses have electricity and safe, running water.
Marcos and Sara will now receive immunization, balanced daily meals, regular health and dental care, and education.
A day-care program, under agreement with a
government secretariat, offers care and nutrition to
youngsters ages two to six. For older boys and girls,
the project offers school supplies and uniforms.
Tutoring is available. The project along with other
nearby projects has developed a Vocational Training
Center where teens may learn a trade and receive
guidance on citizenship, labor rights and duties and
other aspects related to their formation of character
and self-esteem.
GeoFrameworks plans to sponsor additional children in proportion to our growth financially. If you are a current customer of ours, know that
you're helping these kids live the healthy and happy life that they each deserve.
