LIME Anguilla, which is committed to education on the island, has donated one of the Lenovo computers it markets to the Morris Vanterpool Primary School at East End.
In presenting the equipment to the school on Tuesday, LIME Anguilla’s Marketing Officer, Jade Reymond, said: “We are pleased to be donating this Lenovo desktop to the school as part of our community outreach programme. We will continue to play an important role in education as part of providing internet in the schools. For this particular donation, we asked our staff to submit nominees whom we thought would benefit from this donation and the Morris Vanterpool School was chosen to be the recipient.”
General Manager, Mark Romney, said LIME was happy to be associated with the continued development of education in Anguilla including the provision of free internet to the schools. “We are particularly happy about our contribution especially now that most of the students are now required to do their homework via the internet,” he said. “This is all well in keeping with the industrial trend – making sure that we have e-learning which is now more or a less a universal standard. More important for us here, in Anguilla, is that LIME is very much committed tothe continued development of education in Anguilla. We want to make sure that we are very much in the forefront in ensuring we do all we can that all of our students have access to the internet, and that the teachers are in a position to impart learning to students through the medium of technology.”
The computer equipment was accepted on behalf of the school by Deputy Principal, Wreneth Brooks. She was grateful to LIME for its most generous contribution. “I can assure you that this computer will be put to very good use,” she added.
