Sharing Talent, Technology, Time

Do you know how much Sun employees donated in the 2006 Annual Global Giving drive? 

Take the quiz and make your guess on SunWeb.  Once you're shocked by the answer - go to Global Giving Drive and make your donation today...it's not too late!

Ten worthy organizations were chosen as beneficiaries of the Drive with the help of Sun volunteers and members of the Friends of the Sun Foundation community in Facebook, which we welcome you to join. 

The beneficiary organizations fill a specific need in the community, on a large scale.  Here are examples of some of the work these organizations are doing:

• The Hunger Project is working in India to promote health, education, nutrition and family income.
• Mercy Corps is educating orphans in China.
• Engineers Without Borders is working in Ghana to provide affordable access to the Internet.
• Direct Relief International provides medical assistance to countries like Peru, particularly as a result of disasters.
• Architecture for Humanity's Open Architecture Network is building sports facilities at African schools to bring together the positive aspects of sports with an innovative HIV/AIDS health outreach program. 

Your contribution can easily be matched by the Sun Microsystems Foundation on the check out page. 

The last day of the Drive is December 24. 

The Friends of the Sun Foundation community in Facebook is an open forum at the epicenter of the work that we do in our organization. To keep a finger on the pulse of this work, please join us there.
