Inmet Mining Corporation and Right To Play are thrilled to announce the Canadian-based global mining company's contribution of one million dollars to Right To Play's sustainable programs. Over the next four years, Right To Play and Inmet Mining Corporation will deliver quality programming beginning in January 2013 through to December 2016, making a lasting contribution to community development programs around the world.
This contribution also marks the announcement of Inmet as Right To Play Canada's newest National Corporate Partner.
Right To Play, a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity, found many parallels with Inmet Mining's Community Development priorities. As part of this gift, Inmet will be supporting the introduction of Right To Play programming into Panama for the first time. Through comprehensive training workshops, Right To Play will begin working with Inmet's subsidiary Minera Panama, its employees and their community stakeholders to implement sport and play based activities to complement and enhance the company's existing development programs.
Right To Play's CEO and Founder, Johann Olav Koss remarks: "Right To Play is excited to work with Inmet, a leader for Corporate Responsibility, to extend the reach of Right To Play programs. With Inmet's support, we can continue to give more children the opportunity to participate in sport and play activities and create change within communities around the world."
