The
Rotary Club of Banjul at the weekend donated computers to SOS Junior and Senior
Secondary School at a presentation ceremony held at the school ground in
Bakoteh.
According
to officials, the presentation was in fulfillment of a request for support made
by the school for the club to help enhance the school’s IT lab.
Receiving
the materials on behalf of SOS school, Fatou Bin Jobe, vice principal of SOS
Junior Secondary School, thanked Abdoulie Cham, president of Rotary Club of
Banjul, on behalf of all Rotarians in the club for donating “these highly
needed equipment” to the school.
She
assured that the materials would serve its purpose of developing the IT skills
of the children.
Abdoulie
Cham, president of Rotary Club of Banjul, said it is a pride for the club to
support a school like SOS whose main support is from abroad.
“If
other people are supporting our own underprivileged children, I see no reason
why we should also not try to replicate such support,” he said.
“The
Rotary Club of Banjul has SOS at heart that is why we did not hesitate when we
got the letter of support.”
Mr
Cham disclosed that the club is to receive a consignment which includes
computers and furniture that will also be donated to SOS school.
He
said the role of Rotary, as non political organisation, is to serve one and
other with the sole objective of putting smiles on the faces of the underprivileged
people.
The
club’s membership is opened to all who are interested.
Alhagie
Suso, a Rotarian, said the doors of the club are always opened to SOS because
the club is mainly dedicated to supporting underprivileged people such as those
found at SOS.
