Representatives of Blink/bmobile through the company's Book Buddies programme have distributed school books and other supplies to Fourteen children from the Sylphil Home of Love and the Family First Foundation in Tobago.
The programme has been around since 2009, and some 35 employees of the TSTT's Tobago branch would have contributed toward the effort.
The ceremony was held earlier this month at TSTT's conference room, Caroline Building Scarborough.
Children entering First Year straight through to Form Four were given school supplies, just in time for the new term.
Nikeesha Peterson customer service representative , in delivering greetings, indicated that Blink/ bmobile sponsors school books and supplies to hundreds of children from homes throughout Trinidad and Tobago.
"The initiative was developed as part of the company's corporate social responsibility to give needy children the opportunity to become independent thinkers and leaders through the invaluable avenue of education," Peterson said.
It is a great thing to see our private sector playing a key role in helping needy children within our country. I Look forward for the day when more of our business owners would become more active in this regard taking the initiative to sponsor a needy child.
