ABOUT THAT DIGICEL DNA
St. Mary Technical High School is now home to four brand
new desktop computers which they received as part of Digicel
Foundation’s Get Gifted Campaign.
“You came to our rescue. We suffered a major fire which
destroyed everything in our library last year; our books,
computers, chairs and desks. This gift is a dream come true
because we have written so many letters to a number of
corporate companies with no response,” shared school
Principal, Glascine McCormack-Lazarus.
The campaign involved Digicel Jamaica staff members
nominating community institutions who could benefit from
the Foundation’s investment. Among the final selections
was a nomination for the high school, which had suffered
a devastating blow in June 2016, when the school
library was destroyed by fire.
The institution joins six other community organisations that
were selected to receive support from the Digicel
Foundation, namely, Strathmore Children’s Home, Elsie
Bemand Home for Girls, Open Arms Drop-in Centre, Dover
Baptist Basic School, St. Jago High School and Caribbean
Christian Centre for the Deaf (Montego Bay).
