Heron donates new computer and provides tuition to college student in Africa
Heron Pest Control has always gone to great effort to be a thoughtful corporate resident in each of the communities we live and work in. We seek out and support local small business, provide important services free of charge (or at reduced rates) to places of worship, recovery centers and faith-based organizations of various kinds.

“In this example we wanted to reach out just a little further than our own back yard.” Said Joe Patti, company CEO.

We first became aware of the Maranyundo School for girls in Rwanda from a friend in Boston who teaches at a Jesuit High School. This friend flew to Africa and donated a month of his time, skills, and money to help this fragile new venture for little girls get off the ground. His stories of hope and human triumph inspired us all, so when he asked for support for an orphaned young man named Jacques who lives in Kilgari and wishes only to attend school, we signed on quick.

Jacques’ new dell laptop was shipped to Boston, on the first leg of its journey across the globe. We have also agreed to pay his tuition and living expenses in full. We urge everyone to read about the good work these dedicated people are doing, and do what you can to lend your support.
