THE Laparkan Group of Companies recently held its Annual Bursary Award Ceremony in the William Fogarty Limited Boardroom, Water Street, Georgetown.

This Bursary Award Programme started in 1997 with the objective of motivating and supporting employees’ children who take the National Grade Six Assessment.

Since this programme commenced 99 children were awarded. Each child continues to receive monetary rewards for five years providing that certain conditions are met.

Addressing the students, Managing Director and Consultant of William Fogarty Ltd, Mr. Oscar Phillips congratulated the awardees and wished them continued success. He reiterated that without education their future could be challenging.

Mr. Phillips urged parents to support teachers and work together for their children who are the future of tomorrow.

He further stated that parents are the first teachers of their children, so the foundation begins at home.
