SEVERAL hundred students of Eccles Nursery School of Republic Park, East Bank Demerara will receive training in the use of computers, thanks to a recent donation of a computer lab to the school by Scotiabank’s Bright Future Programme.Scotiabank’s Marketing Manager, Jennifer Cipriani, this week handed over the six workstations to excited students and teachers during a simple presentation at the school.

In brief remarks, Ms. Cipriani noted that the donation was in keeping with the Bank’s commitment to giving children an opportunity to realise their potential through funding and volunteer efforts under its Bright Future corporate giving programme.

She noted that school projects such as these make a huge impact on society, as hundreds of children get to benefit from a relatively small contribution.

In 2014 Scotiabank in Guyana contributed over 1200 volunteer hours, while the Bank spent over $14M, on Bright Future projects throughout the country.
