Build Belize makes donation of laptops to students

By Aaron Humes: Non-profit organization Build Belize Inc., a group of Belizeans living at home and abroad, have donated 130 laptop computers and accessories to the Ministry of Tourism and Diaspora Relations that will be distributed to secondary school students by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science, and Technology (MoECST).

Under its “Donate to Educate” program, student recipients will be required to demonstrate responsibility and a certain level of accountability for the devices. As a part of the distribution process, the MoECST will work with schools to establish a community service arrangement and a tracking app will be utilized to ensure the security of the devices.

Diaspora Ambassador Sandhya Murphy on behalf of Build Belize Inc. handed over the $150,000 donation to Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism and Diaspora Relations; Francis Fonseca, Minister of Education, Culture, Science, and Technology; CEO Nicole Solano; CEO Dian Maheia and other representatives.
