The United States-based Teens for Technology and the New York chapter of the Cornwall College Old Boys Association (CCOBA) on Wednesday donated 30 computers, valued at more than $1-million, to the institution.

Teens for Technology is a not-for-profit organisation that was founded by American student Anders Jones in 2001.  At the time, Jones was 14 years old.

Cornwall College is among the growing number of Jamaican schools, which have benefited from the organisation since its inception.  Teens for Technology has partnered with several groups to establish 115 computer labs, equipping them with 1,200 computers in the last three years.  They plan to supply 10,000 computers and accessories by 2007.

At the handing over ceremony on Wednesday CCOBA business manager Trevor Tomlinson said the donation is the culmination of the first phase of an ongoing campaign to restore the institution to a place of pride among secondary level education providers in Jamaica.  He noted that the association would donate another 20 computers to the school over the next few months.

Acting school principal Dave Soares said the donation would go a long way in assisting students with their preparations for external examinations and enhance the quality of education students receive at the institution.
