DIGICEL Guyana, in support of the Tiger Bay project being facilitated by the members of the Community Open Door Alliance, delivered on a promise with a donation of several laptops.
According to a release, this donation will support phase one aspect of this project, which is geared towards training in literacy and numeracy skills for children of Tiger Bay.

Digicel commends this initiative and the works of Community Open Door Alliance as they seek to create a safe space for the youth in the area by encouraging positive lifestyle changes through learning and education, the release said.

Digicel has also committed to the members of the group to continue their support towards this project, both phases one and two as they seek to aid in the development of children and youth.

“We have over the years been committed to fostering the development of youth, and this initiative is one that we give our support to one hundred per cent. We are optimistic that this will grow into something much bigger and influence more children. This community has always been close to our hearts since is within the direct environs of our offices, we would like to wholeheartedly thank the members of this alliance for this project and we look forward to continuing our support, as we positively impact the lives of the children and families of Tiger Bay,” added Simone Pierre of Digicel.

Nazia Mohamed Persaud, a founding member of the group noted how grateful they were for the timely donation, as they would have to use their personal laptops to provide the literacy training for the group of children in the training project.
