IN a bid to fortify educational resources in the Berbice community, Starr Computers has made a significant stride by donating Smart Labs to two pivotal institutions:- the Guyana Police Force Academy Berbice Campus and the New Amsterdam Technical Institute.

This philanthropic endeavour, in collaboration with Food for the Poor Guyana Inc. and St. Francis Community Developers, signals a profound commitment to enriching education and vocational skills in the region.

The partnership aims to fortify the educational infrastructure and foster skill development, marking a significant stride in Starr Computers’ dedication to social responsibility. “We are thrilled to extend our resources and technology to facilitate learning and development in Berbice,” expressed a representative from Starr Computers. “Education is the cornerstone of community growth, and we are honoured to play a part in this process.”

Beyond the lab donations, Starr Computers is offering complimentary seminars focusing on the latest technological products and trends. These sessions are open to all groups interested in advancing their technological proficiency, reinforcing Starr’s commitment to educational enhancement.

The donation ceremony drew the presence of esteemed personalities, including Unicef’s Jewell Crossa, Yesim Oruc from the UN RCO, Andrea Benjamin, CEO of Food for the Poor Guyana Inc., Shivpersaud Bacchus, Commander of Region Six, Penny Francis from Starr Computers Corporate Sales & Marketing, and Alex Foster, Executive Director of St. Francis Community Developers, alongside other distinguished guests.

Commander Shivpersaud Bacchus stated, “thanks to this collaboration, we have become the first academy in the Guyana Police Force to offer computer repair training. This collaborative effort demonstrates a commitment to equipping law enforcement with cutting-edge technology. The enhanced IT facilities will undoubtedly bolster the force’s capabilities to better serving the community.”

Meanwhile, CEO Andrea Benjamin shared, “as we invest in educational institutions, we invest in the future leaders, innovators, and problem solvers of our society. This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to this belief. By upgrading the IT labs, we are not just providing students with better infrastructure; we are equipping them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in a digital world.”

This initiative underscores the collaborative effort between Starr Computers, its partners, and the community, aiming to foster sustainable impacts on education and skills training in Guyana.
