Great Bay:--- NAGICO Insurances made hefty donations of educational materials to more than ten schools and playschools on the island, on Monday, as part of their move to facilitate and support 'Foundation based education'.According to NAGICO'S Marketing & Communications department, this donation was just one of the many ways in which the company wanted to play their part in preparing the way to a brighter future for young children on the island by giving back to the community.
"We don't need a special occasion to make a contribution like this, because we believe that for the educational system to work, students and teachers must be properly equipped with the basic tools they need to lay the foundation for a good education. Therefore, some primary schools and daycares were randomly chosen and presented with items to jump start the process."
Among the items distributed were: crayon books, pencils, crayons, erasers, pencil cases, back packs, driver's manuals, folders and tote bags. Some of the schools which received these items were: The Methodist Agogic Center, St. Joseph Elementary School, The Oranje Elementary School, Hillside Christian School, Sr. Magda Primary School, The I Can Foundation, The Seventh Day Adventist School, Ryle, Ryan & Friends Playschool, Barney Playschool, St. Dominic Primary, Joan's Afternoon School, Bob the Builder School and AHEAD Center of Excellence.

"To be successful in a business you have to have the right people, with the right qualifications and training to offer good service and good service means happy clients.
