Bronte Welsh Primary School receives Computers from CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank Enhancing Learning through Technology
Basseterre, November, 2011 – Staff and students of the Bronte Welsh
Primary School can now increase their computer skills, thanks to a donation from CIBC FirstCaribbean International bank. Staff and students gathered to gladly receive three used computers from CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank, at a brief presentation at the school today.
In presenting the computers, Country Manager and Head of Corporate Banking, Mr. G. Peter Edmunds stated that the bank was pleased to be a partner with the school in enhancing learning. He added that the bank was committed to the development of its communities and partnering with various institutions in worthwhile ventures.
Mr. Edmunds noted that a donation in education and technology was an investment in the future. He added that the development of young people across the region has always been a key focus of the CIBC FirstCaribbean Foundation, which was established in 2003 to oversee the bank’s corporate social responsibility programme.
Recognising computers as the gateway to learning, Education Officer,
Mrs. Urlene Bloice-Roberts, thanked the CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank for coming forward as a responsible corporate citizen to make the donation to the school.
Principal, Mr. Anthony Wiltshire, received the computers and indicated that the donation was indeed timely, as the school had been seeking to acquire computers to enhance its curriculum. He invited other corporate entities in the Federation to come forward and make similar contributions where a need was identified.
The presentation ended with the students of the school expressing their thanks to representatives from CIBC FirstCaribbean in song.
