ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - The Rotary Club of Tortola was very busy this past weekend as the club completed a number of hands on community projects.

On Saturday morning a few members of the Club were joined by representatives from Digicel and Ogiers to install seven (7) new computers in the classrooms at the Joyce Samuel Primary School.

These computers will replace a number of non-functioning machines and will serve as invaluable learning aid to teachers and students alike. Mrs Orlandette Crabbe, principal of the school, was grateful to receive the computers and thanked the Rotary Club of Tortola and its partners for their kind contribution.

The computers were donated through financial support from Digicel and Ogier and the project was spear headed by Rotarian Ehab Tarabay.

While computers were being installed at Joyce Samuel’s, another team of Rotarians were at the Red Cross on Saturday morning completing renovations to the Red Cross Thrift Shop. The renovation included repainting the walls, replacing a number of clothing racks and reorganizing the room to make better use of the small space. Rotarian Ehab Tarabay also spearheaded this project.

On Monday morning, it was back up to Joyce Samuel’s where Rotary Club of Tortola President and Rotarian Valerie Georges-Thomas presented a collection of children’s books to the school.
The project was spearheaded by Rotarians Valerie and Ixora Rose to mark literacy month which was celebrated by Rotary in April. All of the books were collected from Rotarians and other members of the community and will be placed in the school’s library for all the students to use.
