Over 400 Thai and international youth joined the Walkathon for Peace

Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2011 -- The Anglo Singapore International School (Anglo) today organized the Walkathon for Peace at the Benjasiri Park in support of the United Nations General Assembly resolution, which announced the International Year of the Youth in New York from August 12th 2010-August 11th 2011.

Under the theme Dialogue and Mutual Understanding, the International Year of the Youth aims to reach across generations, cultures, religions and civilizations and promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and solidarity.

In support of the International Year of Youth, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "Youth should be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making of local, national and global levels. Let us acknowledge and celebrate what youth can do to build a safer, more just world." *

Youth and youth-focused organizations worldwide have been encouraged to initiate and participate in celebration of the International Year of the Youth and its theme; and a wide array of events is currently being held throughout the world.

In Thailand, the Walkathon for Peace was the initiative of Anglo's Year 4 students, aged 15-16 years old and the school's Community Work Committee, to increase awareness of the International Year of the Youth amongst the youngsters in Thailand.

"This is our first public community event and a wonderful opportunity to spread the message of peace and union to our host country, Thailand," said Anglo's School Director, Julie Sutanto.

"We would like to play our role in supporting the UN in holding an event to celebrate the International Year of the Youth. Plus, we want to raise public awareness about the important contribution youths make around the world. Our beliefs, sentiments and actions are influenced by our innate desire for love and peace. Without it, we lack one of the core foundations of humanity. By establishing peace in the hearts of our youth, we celebrate the essence of mankind," added Julie.

This event is spearheaded by a 15-year-old Singaporean student, Jazlina Sutanto. "We are gathering to create awareness for peace through multicultural exchanges amongst several schools in Thailand. We're taking the first step in getting to know each other's culture in hopes of achieving harmony in society."

The attendees at the Walkathon for Peace comprised of students, teachers and staff from Anglo, including students from other international and local government schools, including Sacred Heart Convent School, Sainampeung School, Vijitwittaya School and Prakanongpittayalai School. Guests of Honour included Dr. Marco Roncarati, Social Affairs Officer (Social Integration Section) of UN ESCAP; Mr Chanwit Tubsuphan, Director of the Office of Private Education Commission, Ministry of Education; and Mr. William Tan Wei Yuan, Deputy Chief of Mission, Singapore Embassy, Bangkok.

In addition to the walkathon by members of the school community and the general public, the event also showcased the students' talents with stage performances, ranging from intercultural youth exercises to music and dance shows.

Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) --05/12/2011 -- InterSystems Corporation today announced that it has appointed Viney Hora to the position of Country Manager, Thailand.

InterSystems Corporation is the worldwide leader in software for connected healthcare. With headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and offices in 23 countries, InterSystems provides advanced technologies for breakthrough applications.

Mr. Hora is responsible for managing and growing InterSystems' business in Thailand.

This includes servicing existing customers– including Bangkok Dusit Medical Services and Vejthani Hospital – and adding new customers for InterSystems' healthcare applications. Mr. Hora will also be seeking leading application providers in Thailand interested in embedding the high performance and reliability of InterSystems' advanced technology in their own products.

The hiring of Mr. Hora is part of a larger investment strategy that includes the hiring of additional local implementation and support personnel to be based in the InterSystems Bangkok office.

Mr. Hora's key focus is to deliver connected healthcare solutions to Thailand's leading healthcare organizations, giving healthcare professionals access to the information needed to increase the quality of care while reducing costs.

These solutions include the InterSystems TrakCare™ Web-based healthcare information system that rapidly delivers the benefits of an Electronic Patient Record, the InterSystems Ensemble® seamless integration platform, and the InterSystems HealthShare™ platform that enables the fastest creation of an Electronic Health Record for regional or national health information exchange.

"Customers get a solution with world-class clinical and administrative functionality developed through international best practice. They also get an adaptable healthcare information system that can be easily configured to 'work the way they work' without the need for lengthy and costly custom implementation projects."

InterSystems offers a TrakCare Foundation product which comes pre-configured for Thailand to further reduce the time taken to achieve benefits and get a return on investment. This adaptability to local conditions has been proven in other countries such as China, Chile, the UK and Middle Eastern countries with many successful implementations.

Mr. Hora also sees strong potential to form partnerships with local software development companies to help them create adaptable, connectable, and insightful applications. "Local developers can benefit from the InterSystems CACHE® high performance object database to make their applications faster and more scalable, from Ensemble to develop connectable applications, and from InterSystems DeepSee™ to embed real-time business intelligence capabilities."

"With his extensive systems implementation experience and consulting background, Viney Hora will ensure that InterSystems' customers and partners are getting the maximum value from the software investments they have made," said Prof. Capp.

Based in InterSystems' Bangkok offices, Mr. Hora is a Thai citizen with over 13 years of local and international experience managing the design, development and implementation of information systems.

Before joining InterSystems, he was a Senior Manager for Deloitte Consulting Southeast Asia. Previously, he founded and was Managing Director of his own IT consulting business focused on delivering Web-based and e-Learning applications, and SAP implementation support and training.

Mr. Hora has a Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in Industrial Engineering from Rutgers University in the United States.
