MDC Donates USB Wall Chargers for Remote Learning at WSS School
Marigot Development Corporation (MDC) mobilizes support for remote learning at the Wills Strathmore Stevens (WSS) Primary School in Marigot by making available to the school a set of 100 USB wall chargers. The chargers were bought to power one hundred (100) tablets, a previous donation to the school by Marigotian, Mr. Lester Boland.
The President of MDC, Mr. Michael Pascal handed over the wall chargers to the Principal, Ms Kirsty Alexander, for distribution to parents.The combined donation of both charges and tablets allowed for every student at WSS to be able to attend virtual classes from October 4th, the official start of the 2021-2022 academic year.
This initiative was made possible through the generous support of Menard Group USA, a Pittsburgh based design-build specialty geotechnical contractor. Marigotian, Ms Maysill Pascal of Menard was very elated to be in a position to help the youngest learners of Marigot. Ms Pascal notes that Menard was eager to assist MDC in leveling the technology and economic playing field for the underserved teachers, students and parents of our community.
The Principal of WSS, Ms. Alexander, was relieved but happy to be able to deliver lessons to all the students in a safe manner, given the unprecedented circumstances faced by all schools due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. She extends on behalf of the teachers, students and parents of WSS a grateful thank-you to all those who helped make this a reality.
