Story: Jasmine Arku

Donewell Life Company Limited has commissioned an Information Communication Technology (ICT) Centre valued at GH 6000 for the Teacher Mota Primary School as part of its Community Relations Programme.
The centre which is made up of a Desktop Virtualisation Platform would depend on one main sever, therefore making it cost effective since electrical power would be drawn from one power source.
The Managing Director of Donewell Life Company Limited, Mr Samuel Oduro recognised the role ICT played in the daily personal, social, educational and business activities in a developing nation.
He said, “studies have shown quite conclusively that investment in ICT correlates quite directly with a country’s economic growth and prosperity”.
Mr Oduro expressd the hope that the Cluster of Schools within the Osu Community would have the opportunity to access the centre so they could be introduced to the basics of computer literacy.
He said when that was done they would be abreast with trends in ICT and build upon them in order to move the country towards being an information society.
Mr Oduro added that the company would also provide teaching with the help of their ICT staff and would provide regular servicing and maintenance to ensure a longer lifespan of the centre.
The officer in charge of the Osu Klottey Sub-Metro Schools, Mrs Gladys Bugri acknowledged the efforts and contributions being made by Donewell Life Company Limited towards the promotion of education.
She said although ICT was part of the educational curriculum, it was being taught in abstract and therefore appealed to other benevolent organisations to contribute their quota in order to make the teaching of ICT easier.
The Headmistress of the school, Miss Veronica Appiah-Kubi pledged her support to guide and guard pupils to use the centre for studying and other healthy activities in order to reap the desired results for which it was established.
The Osu Mantse, Nii Nortey Owuo III expressed his gratitude to the company and advised the pupils and parents to take advantage of the centre in order to be abreast with the changing trends in development and be useful to the nation.
He also urged them to invest in the Future Scholar Policy of the company to enable them cater for their wards in school.
