Tom Klak and students deliver laptop computers to Dominican school
A Dominican television news station, CBN 4, aired a segment on January 11, 2014, about a visit that Dominica鈥檚 Warner Primary School received from Thomas Klak, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, and several 51品茶students in Klak鈥檚 Caribbean Sustainable Development course, during which the 51品茶group presented the school with a donation of five laptop computers.
Over the past eight years, 51品茶has participated in a match-up campaign with various schools in Dominica, in which a fundraising drive is conducted by both parties. Klak and Warner Primary school principal, Verna De Jean Frederick, were the initiators of the campaign.
In the video, Klak states that 鈥渋f two sides, two different people, can work together across cultural boundaries, we can achieve so much more than either side can achieve on their own鈥e inspire each other; we push each other; we motivate each other, and we know that the children鈥檚 future is something that we care the most about.鈥
