Africa-Press – Liberia. The National Association of Cape Mountaineers in the Americas (NACA) has donated laptops to Robertsport High School (RHS) in Grand Cape Mount County to enhance learning opportunities.
The laptops aim to bring the school into the digital age by equipping students with essential computer skills and digital literacy. This donation represents a collaborative effort between NACA and Robertsport High School, emphasizing their commitment to fostering innovation and academic excellence.
The donation of the laptops is intended to help bring the school into the 21st century, with students learning basic computer skills as well as surfing the internet and developing essential digital literacy skills that are increasingly crucial in today’s interconnected world, Emmanuel Massaquoi, NACA’s president, said during the donation.
“The impact of this donation extends beyond the mere provision of laptops. It represents a collaborative effort between NACA and Robertsport High School to create an environment that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and academic excellence,” he noted.
Through this partnership, NACA is demonstrating its dedication to empowering the next generation of Cape Mountaineers.
NACA’s contribution to Robertsport High School is a testament to their unwavering commitment to education and county development. Their generosity will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the students and faculty of RHS, inspiring them to strive for greatness and reach their full potential.
NACA president Massaquoi donated recently during a meeting with the school’s Alumni Association’s acting president, Gardea V. Woodson, in the United States of America.
In attendance during the meeting were NACA’s Vice President Edward Kawah and Kandakai Sherman, an NACA member.
Massaquoi said an Ohio-based company, Sharon Williams, donated the laptops to his organization and the Liberian Association in Columbus (LICI) through the instrumentality of Chris Mingo, a member of the NACA Ohio Chapter and an employee of the company.
The donation comes in the wake of a series of need assessment discussions held over the past year between the association’s acting president and officials of NACA. Massaquoi spoke highly of Sherman, who, he said, installed the software and shipped the devices to Liberia at his own expense.
Additionally, Massaquoi promised RHS of NACA’s help with the renovation of the school’s computer lab as soon as the estimate was made available.
Addressing Sherman and Vice President Kawah’s concerns about the safety of the devices, Mr. Woodson assured them that all precautionary measures were being worked out to ensure that a single device was not stolen.
He thanked NACA and Sherman for considering RHS, given its recent deplorable conditions. This is the second time NACA has aided the school.
During the World Bank renovation of the school, with the Alumni Association’s contribution, NACA provided $500, which was used to electrify the school building.
