The Sagicor Foundation last Friday officially commissioned into use a new block of classrooms at the St. Christopher’s School for the Deaf in Browns Town, St. Ann, developed through proceeds from the 2018 Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run. The new building was constructed in collaboration with Food for the Poor Jamaica.

In addition to provision of the new block – which includes three classrooms, an office and a bathroom, the Foundation also carried out infrastructural upgrades, with repairs being done to the roof and ceilings of classrooms and dormitories, as well installation of a play area, totalling a contribution of $12 million to the 100-year-old institution.

Principal, Donna Harris, expressed gratitude to the Sagicor Foundation for having selected the school as a recipient of the Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run and to Food for the Poor for coming on board.

She noted that the new building is particularly valuable as its location and design on the school compound affords greater accessibility and will facilitate easier communication to students in case of an emergency.
