10/10!

Digicel Foundation opened the doors to its tenth Centre of Excellence in St Thomas on Tuesday, April 10th. It marked the fulfilment of a promise made in 2014 by Digicel Foundation Patron, Denis O’Brien, to build - or significantly expand - 10 Centres of Excellence for Special Needs. The J$37.73 million state-of-the-art facility is the only institution of its kind in the parish, catering to students of high school age. It will deliver vocational training programmes covering digital animation, agriculture, welding, home economics, numeracy and literacy. Prior to opening in September 2017, students had to travel to Kingston for specialized teaching.
