“It’s indeed a privilege to be making this donation to support the students here at the CBIS, at a time when our children are being exposed to different technologies.

Mrs. Dore expressed gratitude on behalf of the department, and the principal and staff of the Cecele Browne Integrated School for the generous gesture.

“Your donation of Kindle tablets is a very timely gesture as we strive to ensure that our students continue to be immersed in engaging learning activities. We embrace the reality that technology has become an integral part of the learning process.

“Your donation will go a long way in ensuring that the students here continue to be provided with the necessary tools and equipment that allow for every learner to succeed. We sincerely thank you for partnering with the school, and indeed all who are willing to invest in our nation’s children,” she said.

Mrs. Violet Clarke, Head Teacher of the school also extended thanks to RG Solomon & Sons Ltd. on behalf of the staff and students.
