On Friday morning, December 14th 2018, at Intel Vietnam headquarters in District 9, HCMC, the Intel Involved Matching Grant 2018 ceremony was held with the participation of representatives from Intel Vietnam’s Public Affairs Department and nearly 30 local NPOs. Ms Kelly Vo – Head of Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising from LIN Center for Community Development received the grant of $10,000 and handed to Vietnam Clean and Green (LIN’s NPO partner) – the direct beneficiary of this program. Intel Vietnam’s employees joined with Vietnam Sach & Xanh to organize two Beach Clean Up programs from LIN’s connection.

In a cozy and open atmosphere, the Intel’s Public Affairs representatives introduced about Intel’s CSR programs and its “Intel Volunteer Angels” – who have been leaders in many CSR activities of the company. While Ms Uyen Ho -Public Affair Director, Intel Vietnam and Malaysia and Mr Vinh Quach – Vietnam Public Affairs, Community Affairs & Strategic Programs shared about their volunteering culture toward the local communities and the overview of CSR activities that Intel has conducted since 2006. They also emphasized on the commitment to support the sustainable development of Vietnam.
