BRAVO, MAGMA OTTAWA (August 17, 2002) -- The Association for Higher Education and Development (AHEAD)
wishes to extend its most sincere thanks to MAGMA for providing a location to
host the AHEAD website www.aheadonline.org.
The AHEAD website is now hosted on a virtual web server (VWS) located in
MAGMA’s world-class Internet Data Centre (IDC). AHEAD is a non-profit, non-political organization, dedicated
to capacity building of higher academic institutions. Through its three
complementary programs, AHEAD supports the Medical Faculty of the Addis Ababa
University by sending books and journals, operating a Bursary Program for
outstanding students and sending training equipment for use by students. Under the guidance of its Patron, the Honourable Senator
Donald Oliver, and the support of a strong community of friends of AHEAD, the
association has grown to become a model to many. One of the vehicles that gave AHEAD an international exposure is
the Internet. Through its popular website, AHEAD has also been able to
mobilize, worldwide, individuals and groups committed to the development of
education. As an organization with no administration cost and entirely
dependent on volunteers, the support from MAGMA is a significant resource for
AHEAD. It will broaden its network, enhance its image and improve its
communication. The executive and Friends of AHEAD extend a resounding
appreciation to MAGMA and we all say “Bravo” for being a model of corporate
citizenship. We encourage our supporters and Friends of AHEAD to join us
in recognizing MAGMA and spread the word about its support to AHEAD. About Magma |
