BTVI deputy chair fulfills his promise

The Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute's (BTVI) deputy chairman, Peter Whitehead, has made good on his promise to donate an Apple computer to the institution.

The Apple iMac computer is to be used in further improving and maintaining the institution's brand by way of desktop publishing.

"BTVI is a remarkable institution that's working actively towards preparing its students for the future. With this donation, I hope to help keep BTVI up to date with the ever-changing technological industry," said Mr Whitehead.

As a part of his donation, Mr Whitehead also pledged to support the training of the iMac recipient to ensure that person takes full advantage of the opportunity.

Alicia Thompson, BTVI's associate vice-president of fund development, said of Mr Whitehead's investment: "This underscores the importance of public-private donations to help BTVI operate more efficiently and effectively.

"We are truly happy to have persons like Mr Whitehead on board to support our vision. We hope this donation sparks the beginning of extended support and investment in BTVI from industry."
