Tesoro Resources donates computers to Shaheed Orphanage

In its efforts to rebuild the Shaheed Orphanage to its former glory following a fire which destroyed the facility late last year, Tesoro Resources on Tuesday donated over $500,000 computers to the all-girl orphanage.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tesoro Resources, Dean Hassan made the donation of seven monitors along with related accessories to the orphanage.
Director of the orphanage, Dolly Rahaman received the computers on behalf of the orphanage
Last year, the company reached out to the orphanage’s director and challenged her to come up with a sustainable project which she would like to see realised.
As such, Rahaman lobbied for the computer laboratory.
General Manager of Tesoro, Jaswick Williams in handing over the donation said that as a consequence of the fire at the orphanage in October 2018, which completely destroyed the orphanage, it was important for the organisation to lend a helping hand.
The general manager expressed the company’s satisfaction with the new partnership with the orphanage and pledged its continued support.
The new Shaheed Orphanage building, located at Oleander Gardens, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was commissioned in April of 2019. Rahaman has been managing the Shaheed Girls’ and Boys’ Orphanage since 2003.
This is another in a series of assistance given to the wider community by Tesoro Resources. Around this time last year, the Orphanage was among five homes that benefited from the company.
They each received more than $1 million to further a project to the benefit of the youngsters who reside there.
