Freeport, Grand Bahama - All
of our children need the right tools to learn and succeed in today’s
world. Thanks to a very generous donation from Reuben and Jacqueline
Byrd, the children at the Grand Bahama Children's Home are far better
equipped. Mr. and Mrs. Byrd donated four brand new IBM
ThinkPads
to the
Home just in time for the holidays. "Christmas is the time of giving
and we wanted to give these children something practical and, as we
understand it, very needed," said Mr. Reuben Byrd.
When accepting the
IMB
ThinkPads
, GBCH Administrator Mrs. Brennamae Cooper said, "What a
wonderful surprise gift for us! We all know how important computer
training is today – and, to date, our children have had to struggle to
get their time on the computers we have. These new computers will make a
wonderful addition to our computer lab and the size is perfect!"
