Child Rights International in collaboration with One- Child- One Laptop company in the United States of America initiated the project with the aim to make technology available to the rural child especially those in the cocoa growing areas in the country.

The DCE in his address expressed gratitude to the initiators of the project and urged the children to make good use of the equipments to explore programmes that will expand their intellectual capacity.

The District Director of Ghana Education Service, Mrs. Gifty Aseidu-Okanta noted that modern teaching and learning materials will help improve quality education and economic growth in the country.

She advised parents and members of the community to give their children enough time to learn and not use them for economic generating support services because they are the future leaders of the country.

She appealed to the school to not only to allow the children to have access to the computers but also ensure that adequate security is provided for the gadgets.

The Programme Manager for NPECLC, Mrs. Rita Owusu-Amankwah in her contribution stated that, their organisation has collaborated with a number of Municipal and District Assemblies to eliminate child labour in cocoa growing areas.

She reiterated that the establishment of the centre will demystify the common notion that computer skills is for only those in the big cities. In addition, it will help improve the quality of education and living standards of the people in the district.

Mr. Derrick Richardson, the team leader of the One-Child-One-Laptop project said their work with the children and teachers of the community have been a great experience. Adding that the facility will bridge the ICT gap between the Western countries and Ghana.
