Corbin donates computer to alma mater

Nov 26, 2009 News

The pupils and staff of the Christianburg Primary School in Linden, were yesterday the proud recipients of a ‘multitask’ Hewlitt Packard Office Jet, which incorporates a printer, photocopier, scanner and fax machine.
The much needed equipment was handed over to the President of the school’s Parent Teachers’ Association by Leader of the Opposition, Robert Corbin. He also presented several reams of printing paper, which he promised to replenish periodically.
Corbin said that it was a pleasure to donate the equipment to the school, which he once attended, and also taught at during his early days in Linden.
“You can be all you want to be, as I, as a humble lad, was able to achieve much, and I received my early education right here at Christianburg School. As such I have a soft spot for this school, and also an obligation.”
Corbin told the gathering of pupils and teachers that he was also fortunate to have secured the sum of US$500 from Mr Kamal Dookie on Tuesday, to be used for the purchase of a computer, or any other item that the school’s administration might deem necessary.
Headmaster of the school, Mr Eric Sarius, thanked Mr Corbin, for his kind gesture. He also expressed his pride at the fact that a prominent leader in society had attended the institution.
Sarius said that the gesture was indeed a timely one, as the school’s old printer had recently developed some problems, and was not working.
On hand to witness the presentation was Regional Vice Chairman Samuel Hooper.
