NASSAU, BAHAMAS The Rotary Club of Southeast Nassau (RCSEN) recently partnered with a private sponsor to supply electronic tablets to Columbus Primary School, allowing more students to get online.
RCSEN President Lionel Haven shared the challenges of learning caused by COVID-19.
“Education has taken a big hit and both teachers and students are required to interact virtually,” he said. “For a great many students and families, this has been a difficult hurdle to overcome. A generous gift by Barbara van der Velde has allowed our club to facilitate the presentation of 50 devices for students for their use in furthering their education.”
