CARIBBEAN Gas Chemical Limited (CGCL) collaborated with the Embassy of Japan and the MP for La Brea, Stephen Mc Clashie, to provide online learning to children in the community.
CGCL said in a media release that it recently partnered with Tatsuo Hirayama, Japanese Ambassador to TT, to outfit two online-learning, student support centres in its host community of La Brea. The initiative was originally proposed by Mc Clashie, who approached the organisations asking for support for online learning for La Brea students, who were disadvantaged by the switch from the physical classroom to a remote, virtual-learning environment, as a result of the covid19 pandemic.
