Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) Ltd. has today presented a cheque of SCR42’140/- to the Red Cross Society of Seychelles as its contribution towards the Disaster relief Effort. In a short ceremony at its Providence Branch Office located in the Sunshine House Building, the Chief Executive of CWS Mr. Charles Hammond handed over the donation to Mrs. Collette Servina from the RCSS in the presence of members from both organizations. ‘The recent disaster that affected mostly the Eastern part of Mahé has indeed left some scars for many families. Even some our staff members have not been spared, hence we are grateful for the interference of the Red Cross Society of Seychelles during this sad situation and we delighted to render our support and eventually bring hope to the families. We are thankful to our dear mobile customers who responded to our appeal and contributed generously to this cause’. The money donated to the RCSS was collected through an SMS campaign whereby CWS mobile customers were encouraged to send SMS to 9688 at the rate of SCR2/- per message. This campaign which demonstrated the value of that CWS put towards its corporate citizenship, lasted for 3 days after which the money collected were topped up by CWS. The campaigned followed the national appeal for fund to help victims of the disaster who have lost their home and belongings. It is to note that the Disaster Relief SMS Campaign was open for both CWS Post-paid and Prepaid customers and attracted an encouraging response.
