The items presented to GTTI last Tuesday were 14 high quality laptops, 4 monitors and 3 keyboards.
Edward Ceasar Mansal, director general of the institute said: “we are all aware that in 2019 there was a breakout of Covid-19. Most of our institutions were crippled. I am sure if you recall, you would remember this. We sought the help of government to help us in producing credit, data bundle to both the students and staffs so that we can continue our program whiles staying at home.”
“Today we are fortunate to receive from a Gambian philanthropist through JTM Construction, the donation of 14 computers to be able to help us continue our programs through distance learning.”
He added that the donation was indeed in the right direction as it would boost the information technology infrastructure of the Institute, and as such, they would indeed make the best use of it for the purpose it is meant for.
The Maadu Leigh Village Foundation is also currently engaged on a project to build a maternity ward at Jisedi village, Central River Region to guarantee smooth delivery for women of the area.
The philanthropist, who is a cofounder of Maadu Leigh and a native of Niamina Dangkungku but based in the US said: “I believe that every individual can impact someone’s life or can do something that can impact the society they live in. Over the years, I believe since 2005, I have been involved in charity related activities. Myself and my brothers, we have brought several containers to the country to impact people’s lives”.
He expressed his desire to contribute something that would at least in a little way improve the Institution.
Ebrima Baldeh and other students of the Institute also expressed deep appreciation and assured the philanthropist that the donated materials would be well utilised.
