Pallotti’s New York Almuni give back to the school

pallottiPallotti High School is a secondary institution known for its above average performance in the CXC exams.  Today that educational institution makes the news again, but this time, it is because it is the recipient of a set of computers from its New York Alumni Association.  This afternoon the Association’s local representative and past graduate, Rosalie Staines, handed over fifteen computers to the school’s principal, Sister Clara Teul.  The much-needed equipment, worth twenty-two thousand dollars, were purchased from GS Com.

“They just completed the construction of their lab, after meeting with Sister Clara, the president and the Board decided that computer equipment is really very needed to empower women.”

“We started with the building and then Ms. Daphne came last eyar in the summer and I took her to show her  where the money—since I came on board—where the money has been used and that was on the building. Then I showed her a classroom because at that time the second floor was still not completed and is still not completed today. But I showed her where I would like another classroom for computers since our computer lab is getting small. We offer information technology to first and fourth form students and so we need to have the latest technology for our girls to be prepared for the world of work out there. That’s how that came about, yes.”

George Sosa, Owner, GS Com

“The process started back in June of last year when Ms. Daphne Horace came down to Belize and both her and myself visited Sister Clara to look at what needs the school had. They found out that they needed to replace some very antiquated computers and so from then on we have been communicating to see what the options we could provide to the lab and at the end of the day it was decided to get fifteen computers, a network laser jet printer, UPS’s and networking switched to connect all the systems. And that’s how I became involved in it.”

Since the formation of the alumni association in 1996, it has contributed over a hundred and thirty thousand dollars to Pallotti High.
