Scotia Bank donates computer to Canje Secondary School
The Bank of Nova Scotia, New Amsterdam branch, recently donated a computer system to the Parent- Teacher Association (PTA) of the Canje Secondary School (CSS) in Berbice. The initiative was taken after a request by the PTA to the commercial bank.
Assistant Manager of the Bank, Mohamed Azim, said that the computer system will be used by the PTA body, teachers and also students of the school, “if they need to type correspondences

or anything that would benefit the school”.
“At Scotiabank, we believe that a part of our responsibility as corporate citizens is to give back to the community, especially in the fields of education and sports and we felt that the donation of a computer would greatly assist the kids and PTA in the form of better accountability.”
The computer was handed over by Branch Manager, Vibert Jones, to PTA President, Byron Forde during a simple ceremony.
And as Occupation, Health and Safety Week looms, the bank has prepared a special corner in its building where safety gear is being displayed as well as literature, “to better educate people working with industries about how they can be able to protect themselves”.
Azim said, too, that each staff member plans to take turns next week to ask customers to visit the section in the bank and share pertinent information with them about occupation, health and safety on the job.
