Microsoft Singapore has embarked on a new fundraising platform under President’s Challenge 2008. SPD is one of the organisations to benefit from the funds raised from the Microsoft Realising Potential – Charity Futsal Carnival 2008. The funds will be used to create and develop programmes to equip people with disabilities with the necessary IT skills to live their lives to the fullest.
