Monday morning at the Government Administration Building in the Conference room, Commissioner Sarah Wescot-Williams was presented with 6 computers for Foundation Computers in Education from the insurance company, Insurance Company of the West Indies LTD.
Commissioner Wescot-Williams was pleased to accept the computers on the Foundation’s behalf, which aims, among other objectives, to provide computers to primary and now secondary schools, and commended the company, as represented by Gloria Blackwood, Branch Manager and Cleavland Beresford, Marketing Consultant.
The company—ICWI—has been established for 40 years in the Caribbean (Jamaica, Bahamas, Cayman), and 2 years on St. Maarten. The company, being a corporate citizen, donated these computers. Blackwood said that it was a pleasure to contribute to the foundation, and that the computers, although small, shall be useful for students.
The students at SMITH, the St. Maarten Institute of Tourism and Hospitality will be pleased, Commissioner Wescot-Williams said. These computers will equip the computer lab with 6 brand new modern computers.
