WSI Announces Plans to Harness the
Internet
to Help Feed the
World
TORONTO,
Canada - Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, we make
a life by what we give.” One Canadian company has taken this adage to heart,
with a vision of changing the world. By serving the needs of small- and
medium-sized businesses, WSI has become known as the world’s #1 Internet Solutions
provider. Now, WSI’s CEO Louis Zalany has announced a plan to help meet an even
more pressing need in the world - the need to eradicate human suffering in cities
and villages of developing nations around the world.
“I believe the Internet will be seen in retrospect as the great equalizer of
humanity,” proclaims Zalany. “By allowing individuals to connect and
communicate from all corners of the world, individuals can become productive
contributors to the world economy regardless of their geography or current
economic conditions.”
However there are many gaps that exist between where the world is today and
where it will be when Zalany’s vision becomes a reality. “Our first priority at
WSI is to help fill the empty stomachs of starving children whose generation we
hope to change,” Zalany insightfully explains. “Then we need to educate these
children,” he continues, “and as we assist with Internet enabling villages,
WSI’s leadership position in the area of e-learning will be leveraged with an
even greater purpose.”
In order to manifest its vision, WSI is aligning with relief organizations
around the world that already have teams of people in place who can best
harness WSI’s global resources.
In advance of our news of WSI’s global village sponsorship program,
Mr Zalany confirmed our sponsorship of the village of Ventanilla, Peru.
“Already WSI is one of our leading corporate sponsors in the country!” proclaims
Rich Chapman of World Vision, one of WSI’s partner organizations. “What
really excites us is how they plan on harnessing the Internet and the small- to
medium-sized business community around the world to save the lives of thousands of
children.”
One of our WSI Outreach Program leaders, the company’s Vice-Chairman Tore
Steen, has always envisioned the alignment of business interests and people.
“Someone needs to begin realizing this vision, and WSI has the passion to get
the ball rolling.” He explains, “We can’t do it on our own, but together with
our worldwide network of Internet Consultants, aligning with relief agencies,
and joining with our clients, suppliers and other business leaders around the
world, we can move mountains.”
Writing this chapter of WSI’s Outreach Program grew out of the willingness
expressed by WSI’s shareholders, management team, staff and network of Internet
Consultants to make a difference in our world by leveraging this global
organization far beyond what any one person could contribute alone.
“Embracing this vision with the full strength of our organization is a passion
shared by our management team and all stakeholders within the organization.”
adds Ron McArthur, WSI’s Chief Operating Officer. “In addition to joining
forces with our business partners around the world, our plan includes
partnering with our clients and web surfers the world over.” McArthur goes on
to explain that “by the 4th quarter of 2003 we were serving up over 500 million
information hits each and every month through our network. Harnessing the power
of many millions of visitors and massive Internet traffic will be one of the
most exciting parts of our vision as our we begin to reveal more detail on our
activities later this quarter.”
“Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of these children, one child and
one village at a time,” Zalany concludes. “It’s one thing to make a dollar, but
making a difference is something that we can all get very passionate about.”
A recent report on Corporate Citizenship by the Canadian Centre for
Philanthropy’s Imagine Program says only 5% of businesses in Canada give to
charity. Only 1% are “Caring Companies” (those that give back 1% of their
pretax profits). WSI intends to inspire a new generation of Caring Companies to
reach out and make a difference. The details of WSI’s plan will be released
later next month to WSI’s global network of Internet Consultants.
