Research Triangle, NC, and Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) March 14, 2007 -- Lenovo today announced the donation of ThinkPad notebooks and Lenovo laptops to the Freedom Calls Foundation (FCF), a national non-profit group based in New Jersey that operates a satellite network for military camps in Iraq. The FCF sites provide video conferencing, online access and phone operations, free of charge that enable U.S. troops on active duty in Iraq to interact with their families and friends back home.
Lenovo PCs will be used at three FCF sites for long-distance email and videoconferencing via satellite. The FCF broadcasts thousands of video conferences each month, and military personnel have free access to all services at FCF sites in Camp Taji, Al Asad Airforce Base and Camp Fallujah. Recently the FCF's satellite network enabled a group of troops to view a special symphony concert, a soldier to propose to his girlfriend in Iowa, and another soldier to view the birth of his first child in North Dakota.
"We're honored to support this great foundation that gives our troops overseas the access to Lenovo PCs," said Jeff Carlisle, vice president of Government Relations at Lenovo. "The work that the Freedom Calls Foundation has done demonstrates how vital it is for everyone to support our troops in their own innovative way."
The FCF is authorized by the Secretary of the Army and the Commandant of the Marines to provide communications services to the troops and their families, and recently received a commendation from President Bush and the Army for its ongoing efforts.
"The generous support of Lenovo is vital to our mission," says Kathryn Hudacek, director of development at the Freedom Calls Foundation. "The durable PCs from Lenovo will be used 24/7 by the troops and will be able to stand up to the harsh environmental conditions at the Freedom Calls Centers situated at Army and Marine camps in Iraq."
Lenovo's PC donation to the FCF is part of the company's global efforts to give back to the community using its technology innovations. For example, through its work with the NBA, Lenovo is joining forces with NBA players and Legends on special projects that encourage social entrepreneurship. This year, Lenovo marked its first initiative with NBA Cares with the donation of Lenovo 3000 notebook PCs to the new NBA Cares Learn & Play Center. This is the first of 10 centers that Lenovo will support worldwide. These centers are a part of the NBA Cares Legacy Projects throughout the US, Asia, Europe and Africa.
The FCF is currently looking to open a new site at Al Taqaddum in Iraq, and another in Afghanistan.
