The youngsters at the Joshua House Children’s Centre are now one step closure to becoming computer literate and able to read their way to success.
This is all thanks to the children and grandchildren of the late Clarina Guilliams and her memorial, the Clarina Guilliams Foundation.
Her US-based offspring and their families worked for several weeks to set up a library and computer room for the 65 children housed at the centre.
The official opening of the library equipped with a wide range of books, along with a printer and six modern desktop computers, was done earlier this month at the centre’s Thomas Street, South Cummingsburg location.
The woman’s son, Carl L. Guilliams, who spoke at the opening ceremony, said that although his mother never went far in school, she was a bright woman who believed in education.
He said that the family felt that providing learning opportunities for children was the best way to honour her.
He pointed out that all the woman’s children and their children are academically gifted.
Mr. Guilliams also promised that should the need arise, his family is also willing to finance university education for the children who want to further their studies.
The Guardians of Joshua House, Clifford and Gladys Accra, expressed their sincere gratitude to the family who has not only provided the children of the home with material stuff, but with hopes for brighter futures and bigger dreams as well.
In addition, a cheque of $100,000, which promises to be an annual subvention, was also presented to further enhance the lives of the children.
The Guilliams family also took the opportunity to present an additional computer to Shemaine Campbelle of the West Indies female cricket team.
The family also has three other computers to unpack and donate to the Drop-In Centre sometime this week.
