He said, “I am happy to provide these devices for the children’s use. I know under the guidance of the Can Bou Play facilitators there will be fascinating interactive programs to keep them engaged and improve their technical skills, especially as everything, including education, becomes virtual.”

While accepting the tablets, Can Bou Play Foundation’s Yohance Marshall assured that students would receive the devices later this week with programming to begin shortly after.
