About the Foundation
At Servitor Training
Services we accept our corporate social responsibility toward our
clients, employees and members of the greater community. We believe
that an economically strong community fosters a more favourable
business environment and we want to be a leader in that community.
The Servitor Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization
(802669077RR0001). Thanks to the generous donations of time and
effort by our accountants, we are projecting Administration costs
for the charity to be less than 1% for this fiscal year.
The Servitor Foundation is funded
almost exclusively by Servitor Training Services and its directors.
Our Vision
The Servitor Foundation envisions
an inclusive society that values and supports people to become
healthy, creative and fully engaged in the civic, social, economic
and cultural life of our socially diverse and environmentally
sustainable communities.
Our Mission
The Servitor
Foundation’s charitable programs are directed outward to the
community at large to support the relief of poverty and the
advancement of technical education and other purposes beneficial to
the community.
Current Activities
The Servitor Foundation currently supports
SOS Children's Villages
(SOS Kinderdorf).
The new Village in Brovary,
Ukraine is just about to open. (September 2008) There's room for about 100 kids
there. Back in 2005, we starting helping out on this project. First
we thought that your last name had to be Schevchenko to be a
contributor, like Vitaly the MP, Andriy the Football star and Igor
the Chairman, but after playing (and losing) many games of chess in
Schevchenko Park, we felt qualified to give.
Serious thanks needs to go out to Anders Collman,
VP from Cramo for keeping this project going.
You too can help out in Brovary. There's more
information available at the SOS Kinderdorf Website:

While in China, we had the opportunity to
visit the Urumqi location. We dropped by on Christmas Day with some
presents.
The city of Urumqi is the capital of the Xianjiang Uigur Autonomous
Region in Northwest China. The Uigurs, an ancient Turkic
people, are the largest population group of this region.
Xianjiang is situated in the very heart of Asia: Urumqi
is the world's farthest city from the sea (about 3,600
km). The flight from Beijing to Urumqi takes more than
four hours.
SOS Children's Village Urumqi is located in the western
part of the city, about 40 km from the airport. It
consists of fourteen family homes, the village
director's house, a house for the SOS aunts (family
helpers who support the SOS mothers) and an
administration and service area.
There is also an SOS Kindergarten, which has four group rooms and some
additional rooms. The kindergarten has a capacity of
about 120 children and is attended by many children from
the local community. About 5 km from the SOS Children's
Village, there is a large market and a big hospital. A
school, which is part of Xinjiang Agriculture
University, is close by as well.
