Small
Islands Voice Communication Links
As
part of its programme to improve communication linkages amongst
schools on Rarotonga and the outer islands the UNESCO Small
Islands Voice Project is providing phone/fax/copier machines
to those schools where such equipment had been lacking. Friday
saw Cook Islands Small Islands Voice National Coordinator Bruce
Gray present Rutaki School principal Mata Pepe with their new
phone/fax copier.
"It
is equally as important for small schools as well as schools
with large enrollments to have the tools and resources needed
to effectively communicate in today's modern society."
"Small
Islands Voice is most pleased to be able to assist in this effort."
This
is the third phone/fax/copier donated by Small Islands Voice
this year with Mangaia College and Tamarua School on Mangaia
having been presented with theirs last month.
In
accepting the phone/fax on behalf of his school, Principal Pepe
expressed his appreciation and gratitude. "I have been needing
one of these for a long time now. This will be a big help in
both improving communication but also in saving time and petrol
as now we can fax information instead of having to drive and
deliver it. We wish to thank UNESCO Small Islands Voice and
REAP for this much needed gift to our school."
