 Students of the Doris Robinson Primary School on Middle Caicos were treated to a very special visit by Digicel, which adopted the school in 2007. Food, toys and lots of school items were handed out to very excited children. Each child received a Digicel lunch box, book bags which contained a pencil, pencil bag, ruler, sharpener, notebook, an extra lunch bag and a back-pack. Teachers and other school personnel were not left out, also receiving Digicel goodie bags. Digicel also delivered an electric stove range that Principal Keisha Mills said the school needed. “It is our intention to continue to support the Doris Robinson Primary School in every way possible,” said E. Jay Saunders, CEO of Digicel TCI. “Even more than before, we recognize at this time that it is nearly impossible for the TCI government to fund its schools with all that’s needed. "What we do and give is a measure taken to ensure that the children of Middle Caicos, despite them being on an island that is awkwardly accessible, has the same opportunities to grow and develop as any other child would on any of the other Turks and Caicos Island.” Saunders also called on other corporate citizens to do their share as responsible corporate citizens. “We all play a very important role in ensuring that the future of this country is turned over into well educated, capable hands,” Saunders said.
