Near-Shore Outsourcing Company Awarded Georgia Middle School $1,000 to Support Math and Science Programs In emerging markets around the world, education and globalization is creating a competitive middle class of young professionals. As Vision TRE grows, helping U.S. educators keep us competitive by inspiring and exciting students about opportunities in math, science, and engineering is a role we want to participate in, and we are starting right here at Stephenson Middle in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Stone Mountain, GA (PRWEB) August 23, 2010 Vision TRE, Inc. announced today a donation of $1,000 to Stephenson Middle School's math and science departments to help purchase equipment and supplies for teachers and students. The donation was received with many thanks from the school's principal, Mrs. Obelia Hall. "We believe in public education and during these tough times community businesses and individuals have to step up and support our neighborhood schools", said Mr. Johns, President of Vision TRE, an information technology near-shore staff augmentation company located in the Atlanta area. Vision TRE is adopting Stephenson Middle School and plans to provide continued support to the math, science, and technology programs there. "In my work I see near-shore markets in South and Central America that have a growing middle class of motivated young professionals that our young people need to be well prepared to compete with, and ready to benefit from the opportunities that this new consumer market will create," said Mr. Johns. Vision TRE is a privately owned company that has a history of community giving through donations to the Fisher Family Scholarship Fund, Howard University, and local churches. "This has been a good year and becoming a partner in education with Stephenson Middle is our way of sharing this success," said Mr. Johns. About Vision TRE, Inc.:
