In what has been described by the Embassy of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the R.O.C. (Taiwan) as a “partnership of benevolence”, ASUS Foundation, a Taiwan-based, multinational computer hardware and consumer electronics company, on the 8th June, 2022, delivered to the Embassy one hundred (100) laptop computers.
According to the Embassy, fifty laptops were purchased using funds raised by the Tunghai Alumni in 2021 for learning recovery in St. Vincent and the Grenadines following the devastation caused by the explosive eruptions of La Soufriere.
The laptops were purchased, through a partnership agreement, from the ASUS Foundation at a specially discounted company price and the ASUS Foundation donated another fifty laptops to match the Embassy’s purchase.
Speaking on behalf of the Embassy, Ambassador Bowman lauded the ease with which ASUS Foundation entered into the “partnership arrangement” which redounds to the benefit of teachers and students in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
