The informational horizon of the Critchlow Labour College has been considerably broadened, following the provision of computers, through a grant which was presented by the Mitsubishi Corporation on Tuesday.
Six laptops, five desktop computers and a photocopier, were presented to the college, during a presentation ceremony hosted at its Woolford Avenue and Thomas Lands, George-town location.
Attendees included the President of the Venezuelan Mitsubishi branch, Yohei Sasagawa; Assistant Manager of Mitsubishi Project Development, Christian Cappuccio; former advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rawle Lucas; staff members and students of the Critchlow Labour College.
In his opening remarks, the principal of the institution, Ivor English, expressed gratitude for the equipment, which was bought through a US$20,000 grant donated to the college by Mitsubishi. He said the grant would not have been possible, had it not been for Lucas, who created the opportunity for representatives of the college to meet with representatives of Mitsubishi, to see how the company might help with the advancement of education at the college.
“After a long deliberation,” he said, “in order to enhance the delivery of education, it was agreed upon that we should buy computers and other related equipment, which will enable us to deliver education in a far better way as we are living in a technological age”. Commenting during the handover of the equipment, Sasagawa, said, “The scope of the project is to help boost programmes, which are vital to the economic growth of Guyana. I hope that a lot of Guyanese will benefit from this project and other contributions that we have made to the country over the years”.Students at the event expressed gratitude for the generous donation by Mitsubishi and said they are looking forward to using the equipment, as it will make their work much easier.Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer.
