Early Christmas for School for the Exceptional Child on Praslin |21 December 2017

• CWS Managers mobilise for a special donation

 

Following up on their 2015 Happy to Give campaign, department heads from Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) made their way back to Praslin’s Centre for Disabled Children in the morning of December  7 with contributions ranging from educational materials to cooking appliances, items carefully selected and communicated by the Baie St Anne based teachers themselves.

“For all my colleague managers, this initiative represents an independent donation from CWS’ community initiatives,” explained Anthony Delorie, CWS’ business development manager and chairman of the managers’ forum which meets on a weekly basis to discuss how better to tackle operational planning between departments of the quad-play provider.

“The decision to return to Praslin was a natural move considering that CWS had already supplied the school with numerous educational items, games and electronic equipment as part of our yearly Happy to Give campaign,” he added.

As outlined by Larry Moustache, CWS’ Praslin and La Digue manager during the friendly handover that same morning, the total investment reached R26,400.

“Let me highlight that this contribution was not only provided by managers themselves but also chosen through a democratic process,” Mr Moustache said.

“All my colleagues voluntarily contributed R100 per month from their own salaries for one whole year and additional funds were also provided by the same department heads but this time resulting from the payment of accumulated penalties of R50 for not being at times punctual to scheduled meetings,” he added.

“Following my recommendation, I am very pleased that we all agreed to return to the school considering that CWS Praslin staff are aware of the centre’s requirements and always reply present in terms of more technical interventions whenever the teachers call upon us,” he concluded.
