Chief Operating Officer of GTT’s Home Solutions & Fixed Networks, Eshwar Thakurdin , recently donated one year of free Fibre service, a desktop computer, printer, stationary and personal care items to the Hope Children’s Home in Enmore, East Coast Demerara.
A release from the company said that the contribution came as a token to the community of Enmore as GTT completes its second phase of Fibre roll-out in the area to benefit hundreds of households.
During a handing over ceremony at the home, Thakurdin encouraged the children to continue to put their best foot forward. He said that the internet is an integral part of youth development in the 21st century and that GTT is doing its utmost to ensure that more communities have access to a reliable and modern internet service.
Administrator of the institution, Kamal Samichand, said that the facility which is managed by the Church of Christ was established in 2001 and currently houses 24 children.
She expressed her appreciation to GTT.
“Many of the children currently share tablets to do their research. The computer and printer is really going to help them with their assignments and we are thankful to GTT for that and all the other supplies that we received”.
The donation was made on April 5.
