Sensors, Inc. joins with IMF

Through the efforts of IMF treasurer Leigh Siller, who is also the VP of Sensors, Inc., the company has become one of the donors for our foundation. During the annual company-wide meeting for renewal of health benefits, IMF made a presentation to all the employees of Sensors, Inc., this resulted in many people signing up to donate on a two-weekly basis to Isaka memorial Foundation.

 Although several people had made small contributions to our foundation before, many did not know the extent of the AIDS problem, nor the impact IMF was making among the orphans in Siaya District, Kenya. The presentation was very well received and we have been inundated with people asking what they can do to help. This willingness to help has come from both the executives of the company as well as ordinary workers.

When IMF President mentioned to Sensor’s Chairman, Mr. Don Soenen that he had surmounted his initial trepidation to ask for money from the employees, he quipped that “when you believe in the cause, you should never be shy to ask for help”. He also opined that a large number of people were already giving to some charity and that IMF’s task was to convince them that ours was a better cause for them switch. We both thought that should be easy because ours is a relatively small outfit whose activities would be very easy to verify and that the leadership, being fellow employees at Sensors, Inc., would add more credence.
