A fourth edition of Power Volunteers has just started. In the first phase Sii emoloyees submit projects, which they want to pursue with friends or family with Sii\u2019s financial support. During recent editions many worthy initiatives dedicated to different age groups were introduced \u2013 from fairy tales for children to workshops for seniors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"zdjecieThe cyclical Sii Power Volunteers program has been officially established in December 2016. All the projects are initiatives of Sii Power People, who have applied in previous editions, fought for the grant and realized their ideas, which aim at helping the ones in need. The initiators, who pursue the projects after hours, are responsible for their implementation. Sii\u2019s role is to support them financially, and, if there is such a need, in organization and promotion. Therefore, congratulations are in order to all volunteers for their time, energy and work.<\/p>\n

The spectrum of help, which is provided by Sii Power Volunteers, is very wide. Technological workshops dedicated to youth, writing fairy tales for children based on Sii values, substantive support for seniors, sharing knowledge and material assistance for animals \u2013 these are only some of many ideas implemented within the last year\u2019s edition of Sii\u2019 voluntary program. Successful projects can become an inspiration for new initiatives to be submitted in the fourth edition of Sii Power Volunteers.<\/p>\n

In October and November he and Artur Krychowski, an Application Support Specialist, performed workshops for a group of seniors on how to avoid on-line data theft, how to buy via Internet, how to perform online money transfers safely and how to use e-mail and social media wisely. The classes received positive feedback from the participants, who pointed out the high quality of the content and a new perspective on cyber security.<\/p>\n
