Seven children of families that were adversely affected by fires in Fyzabad and Port of Spain received electronic devices to assist with their online school for the new school term.
Recent fires at Ackbar Trace, Avocat, and Quarry Street, Port of Spain destroyed several homes, leaving persons, including ten children, homeless.
The electronic devices will facilitate the educational development of the children attending a public school. The devices were presented by Managing Director at East Port of Spain Development Company, Dr. Deborah Thomas-Austin. Dr. Thomas-Austin said she was pleased to partner with the Ministry to bring restoration and a sense of normalcy to the affected families, particularly the children.
The learning devices were donated by the East Port of Spain Development Company and Minister of Social Development and Family Services, Donna Cox.
