TECU Credit Union donates $13,000 to St Peter’s Private Primary School

In a significant act of community support, TECU Credit Union Cooperative Society Limited has donated $13,000 to St Peter’s Private Primary School in Pointe-a-Pierre. This contribution comes in the wake of a devastating fire on August 28 that destroyed the school’s administrative building, including critical infrastructure, equipment, and irreplaceable documents. The donation aims to facilitate the systematic rebuilding of the school’s administrative capabilities, ensuring the restoration of essential operations. The cheque was formally presented by TECU President Sandra Matthews-Noel to Principal Georgette Medford during a ceremony held on October 15. Matthews-Noel emphasized that the partnership extends beyond financial aid, focusing on fostering youth development and financial literacy. ‘Our collaboration is about creating a comprehensive ecosystem for the next generation,’ she stated. Interim Chairman of the St Peter’s Parents Association, Andre Lee Ha, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the partnership’s potential to create sustainable opportunities for students. Principal Medford expressed profound gratitude, noting that the donation marks the beginning of a long-term relationship between the institutions. Beyond immediate recovery efforts, TECU plans to introduce educational programs on financial literacy, cooperative principles, and youth development, including workshops and mentorship initiatives. With an 80-year legacy and over 57,000 members, TECU continues to champion community development, leveraging this partnership to empower future generations through education and financial awareness.
