Subject: Office World donates to Sacred Heart School
January 20, 2010 (SGIS) – The Bottom, Saba:
On Wednesday, President of Office World, Prakash V. Daryanani, paid visit to the Sacred Heart School. Office World came over to donate 24 chair and table sets to the school. Mr. Daryanani stated that similar projects on part of Office World have been carried out on other islands, such as Eustatius.
“2009 is the 20th anniversary in Sint Maarten for Office World”, stated Daryanani. It is their intention to celebrate by choosing to order desks and chairs to distribute to neighboring island schools. Daryanani elicited the importance of encouraging education among youth and how they feel it is important to future generations in their education.
The need for desks and chairs at the Sacred Heart School was not known to Office World previously. Saba Police Inspector Wendell Thode took up correspondence with Office World and made them aware of the issue and asked if they would assist with donations. “Mr. Thode was instrumental in this process”, stated Mr. Daryanani.
Office World told GIS that they hope to have some more projects during 2010 on a smaller scale to assist the education sector on Saba.
