Charitable organization receives laptops from OLPF

Georgetown : The Bernice Mansell Foundation received 12 laptops from the The One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) Secretariat to boost its educational programmes.

Head of the foundation Bernice Mansell after receiving the laptops noted that the organisation has 10 laptops, four of which are functional hence the need for additional systems.

She expressed her appreciation for the OLPF’s quick response and asked for training to be provided to teach the youths.

The Organisation also partners with the Ministry of Education through its annual GUYAID Essay Competition which is held during education month. The essay competition is used as a vehicle to promote literacy among Guyanese children.

OLPF Public Relations Officer, Stacy Carmichael -James indicated that a trainer will be made available to work with the youths for six weeks.
