Over 100 orphans domiciled at the Sophia Care Centre now have the opportunity to broaden their scope of learning, compliments of E-Networks Inc., after the company made it possible for the institution to access over 80 television channels – a development that will assist the children with improving their educational abilities.
The simple ceremony which took place at the facility’s location in Sophia saw in attendance Managing Director of E-Networks Vishok Persaud, students and employees.
Persaud speaking at the occasion disclosed that the Centre is just one of ten orphanages that his establishment has agreed to assist with the provision of the service within the boundaries of access to the network and the whole aim is to improve the academic and all-round abilities of children.
He said that the company was moved to provide the service after overwhelming feedback showed that children who have access to such a facility showed remarkable progress in learning after being exposed to a variety of educational channels.
“I saw first hand the improvement of my children as well, and we felt that to show our care and appreciation for the support that we receive, we agreed to make it possible for the less fortunate to benefit from the service,” Persaud revealed.
He added that it is one of the best tools to fast track education for children.
The Centre, located next to the Sophia Exhibition Centre, currently houses 119 orphans – with 62 girls and 57 boys making up the composition – from almost every region in Guyana.
It has separate dormitories for the boys and girls, who are divided into juniors and seniors, while the facility also comprises a library, gym and an area where the children eat their meals.
House Services Supervisor Roxanne Bledman in her remarks first thanked Persaud and E-Networks Inc. for providing an early Christmas present for the children of the institution, informing that they will certainly make the best use of the service.
“This gift will be fulfilling for the children, they are already excited and the staff at E-Networks Inc. has brought early Christmas joy for us since it provides a variety of options for them,” Bledman said.
She extended best wishes to the entire staff of E-Networks, while wishing them continued prosperity.
Bledman took the opportunity to urge more businesses to follow suit, since the institution is always in need of assistance to make the children as comfortable as possible.
Among the items that are needed presently are foodstuff, haversacks and slippers, and a call is being made to the business community for assistance.
