Nyamira residents living in the diaspora have been asked to unite and support education development back at home.
Nyamira County gubernatorial aspirant Henry Ongeri was addressing parents, teachers and pupils of Riensune and Nyansiongo primary schools where he presided over the donation of forty computers to the two schools.
“The best way to give back to society is through the support of education for our young brothers and sisters to prosper,” he said.
The computers were donated by the people of Nyamira living in the United States of America led by Hesborn Simba.
In a speech read on his behalf by Mr.Ongeri during the handing over of the computers, Mr Simba thanked the Kenyan government for including ICT in its education curriculum placing its students at an advantage over their peers.
On their part, the management teams from both schools led by Zachariah Ogeto appreciated the rare gesture from the diaspora alumni.
They promised to maintain and service the donated computers to enable the learners sharpen their digital literacy.
“We appreciate this good work done by our children living abroad and promise to construct safe rooms for proper storage of these equipment.” commented Ogeto.
