Mr. Leon Roydon, the (owner/manager) of Malliouhana Hotel in Meads Bay, has answered the call to supply three of the greatly needed items in the 'Empowerment Through Literacy Programme' which is being spearheaded by the Teachers' Resource Centre at the Department of Education.

Mr. Roydon's generous donation of a video-camera, a printer and a computer
will be used to further enhance the delivery and monitoring of the Literacy Strategy.

The main objective of the 'Empowerment Through Literacy Programme' is to raise standards in literacy among all students. In addition to the training of teachers and parents in Literacy Development, efforts are being made to
better resource the six primary schools with books and other reading material.
The computer equipment will make it possible for the Department of Education to capture the best practices in the schools and to facilitate the implementation of
other education products. These 'best practices' will be shared with teachers and students in an effort to improve the quality of teaching and learning in our schools in general.
