YBPS Members Secure Contribution of 40 Computers from Monroe College for Secondary Schools in Barbados

YBPS successfully initiates Monroe College contribution of 40 computers to secondary schools in Barbados. This gift of computers is the result of initiative taken by YBPS member Mr. David Dawson, Assistant Director of Distance Learning Admissions at Monroe College and fellow Barbadian, Brian Tomlinson, Community Program Coordinator/Admissions Counselor at Monroe College.

Steven Jerome, President of Monroe College; Marc Jerome, Executive Vice President/New Rochelle Campus Director and Evan Jerome, Director of Admissions/Bronx Campus, officially presented the 40 computers to the Hon. Jessica C. Odle, Barbados Consul General at New York and V. Renee Cutting, YBPS Co-Chair on Friday, March 17, 2005 at Monroe College.

The 40 computers were donated to the Barbados Ministry of Education for use in its Edu-Tech Program. Edu-Tech is an ambitious program, which aims to make computer literacy available to each and every Barbadian student. The computers were distributed to four schools where the computer technology needs are greatest.
