On June 12th/13th Dan Cornford took part in the 2010 Care 3 Peaks Challenge http://www.carechallenge.org.uk/IT. This is a demanding 24 hour trek up and down Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in the UK to raise funds for Care International UK, a charity focussed on tackling poverty around the world. Dan works with IGI on p:IGI software development and we were delighted to hear that he completed the challenge in 23 hours and 40 minutes, despite describing his training regime as "sitting at a keyboard, typing on a keyboard, staring at a screen, talking, more talking and a bit of chat". IGI are pleased to donate £100 and to match IGI staff donations by a further £100.
IGI are pleased to donate £500 to support ActionAid's 'Pakistan Floods Appeal'. ActionAid are currently distributing emergency supplies of food, water, sanitation and shelter to flood victims in rural Pakistan. For more information on the work carried out by ActionAid please go to their website www.actionaid.org.uk.
