 | | IAC DONATES ACOUSTIC LOUVERS TO CHARITY HOSPITAL SHIP | | | IAC | | 08/08/2008 | | | World leader in noise and acoustic control products IAC, has donated six Noishield Acoustic Louvres for the children’s play area onboard the Africa Mercy – the world’s largest charity ship.
Currently in Liberia, the ship provides free health care to the people of Africa. Young patients, as well as the children of the volunteer crew, will benefit from IAC’s generous donation.
IAC is a global company and was founded in 1949. It offer solutions to a wide range of noise pollution and sound quality problems. IAC has supplied a number of naval fleets with noise control silencers and louvres as well as the QM2.
Gary Dawson, Business Manager for Building Services at IAC said: “Learning of the work that Mercy Ships does and the lives that they transform we wanted to be able to help and contribute to their truly inspiring work.
“We have the tools, knowledge and products to provide quality solutions to noise pollution and are delighted that the children on board the Africa Mercy will have a quieter and safer play area as a result.”
Judy Polkinhorn, Executive Director of Mercy Ships UK, said: “We are extremely grateful to the kind donation from IAC. It is our paramount concern to ensure that the patients on board are as comfortable as possible. Many children who have been treated have undergone traumatic life changing surgeries so ensuring they have a safe and peaceful environment to play is of great importance. IAC understood this.
“Donations like this mean a lot to the crew. Our dedicated team of volunteers - including nurses, doctors, surgeons and engineers - give up their time to help those less fortunate than themselves and, coupled with the support of donor companies, Mercy Ships really makes a difference in Africa.”
Over the last 30 years, Mercy Ships has worked in over 70 countries providing services valued at more than £350million. The charity has treated more than 230,000 people in village medical clinics, performed more than 35,000 surgeries, 190,000 dental treatments and completed over 950 construction and agriculture projects, including schools, clinics, orphanages and water wells.
IAC manufactures and supplies noise control products to six market sectors world wide including the manufacturing and process industries; power industry, construction and audiology and their expertise and experience are world-class. | |
