Some 100 of the nation’s students are now more equipped for the Hilary school term, thanks to the ANSA McAL Foundation.
It has donated 100 Amazon 7” Fire tablets to the Ministry of Education, designed to be provided to some of the most vulnerable students.
Managing Director of Carib Brewery Grenada Ltd, Ron Antoine, handed over the devices to the Education Minister last Wednesday.
Upon presenting the devices, Mr. Antoine reiterated the importance of private sector involvement in social issues; especially now as Grenada is faced with a challenge, hoping to soon overcome it.
He further stated that the Ansa McAL Group of Companies recognizes its social responsibility and remains committed to playing its role.
Minister Pierre accepted the donation saying it’s a timely gesture not just now in the midst of COVID, but it’s in line with the advancement and transformation in the education landscape.
The tablets were purchased from funds raised through the ‘One Yard’ Virtual Benefit Concert, aired on 30th October 2020.
The concert was organized by the Ansa McAL Group with the aim of assisting students with accessing remote learning.
Devices have already been donated to the Education Ministries in Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados and Guyana.
St. Kitts/Nevis is next in line.
