Bourne, who hails from Mabaruma, stated that this donation encourages the pursuit of constructive extracurricular activities, adding that other entrepreneurs and corporate entities should undertake a similar posture and contribute to the development of the youth, which can act as a foundation for the future. Meanwhile, members of the team as well as the Principal Henry Chase, expressed gratitude to the burgeoning establishment for their timely gesture.
