In celebration of their ten-year anniversary the Ardent Networks community has decided to donate their anniversary celebration budget to schools in struggling areas of the Philippines.
Ardent Networks has chosen five schools around the Philippines to send donations, by vote of their employees. They acknowledge that many schools especially in the rural areas are not fully equipped for teaching in this current environment. This is why Ardent has donated ₱20,000 to each of these schools.
