"ASPS has a special place in my heart" - Kevin R. Gordon

Digicel who adopted the school in September 2016, donated a FG Wilson generator within less than 24 hours following the visit from Chairman and Owner of Digicel, Mr Dennis O'Brien on October 3, 2017.

In an exclusive interview with Kevin R. Gordon, CEO of Digicel BVI, he expressed that it is important to serve the community and especially Althea Scatliffe Primary School.

He said, "It gives us great privilege to serve the community and to serve Althea Scatliffe Primary School. They have a special place in my heart," adding that there are 465 students that were displaced following hurricane Irma.

According to Mr Gordon, his team is working quickly to get back ASPS to normalcy for the benefit of the students, the economy and the territory.

"We will do whatever is required to get back ASPS back to its original pride that it once had before," emphasised Digicel's CEO.

He further informed this news site that he is working with the ministry of education to go through the estimate and to prioritise to ensure that they are focusing on what is important.
