ACI Singapore celebrates Lunar New Year More than 50 members of the ACI Singapore team recently gathered for a luncheon to celebrate the Lunar New Year, which began on January 25. The celebratory luncheon was coordinated by the ACI Singapore Recreational Club and it was held at the Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant across the street from ACI’s Singapore office site. It provided ACIers in attendance with a great atmosphere to kick off the Year of the Rat while networking with colleagues from across departments and locations. One activity many look forward to during Lunar New Year celebrations is a good toss of yusheng (a type of raw fish salad) for good fortune. The ritual involves mixing and tossing various ingredients and saying hopeful and encouraging phrases before eating it. “It was great for the team to come together and toss to a prosperous year ahead,” said Yvonne Lai, Marketing Director, Growth Markets. “The celebration brought our ACI Singapore team closer together as 1ACI and it felt like one big family gathering!”...Show more

ACI Cape Town donates laptops to local charities ACI’s Cape Town, South Africa team recently continued their ongoing partnership with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) by donating 14 refreshed laptops rather than disposing them. The site team currently rotates their laptop donation program with various NGOs, which do not receive any funding from the South African government and therefore rely on donations, on a quarterly basis. The NGOs that received laptops as part of the site’s most recent donations included the South African Education and Environment Project and the Fisantekraal Centre for Development. “These NGOs do phenomenal work in and around Cape Town and are truly doing their part to make South Africa a better country," explained Christo Espach, Cape Town Local Site Leader and Software Engineering Manager. “We’re so happy to aid in their efforts to help those less fortunate, and we feel very lucky to be a part of their service to our area.”...Show more
