Tempo has been a partner of Room to Read for more than six years now as part of our corporate culture of community service and philanthropic leadership to empower others within the global community.
To date, we have donated more than $75,000 to Room to Read through Tempo’s Starter License Program–$100 for annual 10-user starter licenses for Atlassian JIRA–which has provided approximately 1,800 children with education.
“Like many of our peers, Tempo is experiencing rapid growth. With that growth comes a responsibility to help those in
our industry and the communities we serve,” said Agust Einarsson, CEO, Tempo.
Sharing is Caring: Tempo Gives Back
As one of the largest, award-winning, and top-selling developers in the Atlassian Ecosystem, Tempo has at our core a
focus on collaboration.
“Building solutions that help teams extends naturally to our corporate desire of helping others – whether customers or individuals living in various communities around the world,” Agust said.
A Small Act of Kindness Goes A Long Way...
At the beginning of this year, the Tempo staff was given an opportunity to vote on a country where Room to Read would publish a book in honor of Tempo and we went with Nepal.
Hence, the birth of Mom Became Happy in Nepali.
Written by local author, Krishna Dip Sigdel, the story of Mom Became Happy was brought to life by Ubahang Limbu with his beautiful and heartwarming illustrations. The first print of the book counts 5,000 copies and is distributed in Room to Read libraries and schools in Nepal.
We were so thrilled to flip through it when we received our copy of the book at the Tempo office. A few of us even had difficulties putting it down!
