Uni­com­er (Trinidad) Lim­it­ed re­cent­ly part­nered with Unit­ed Way to im­prove the phys­i­cal and learn­ing en­vi­ron­ment at Suc­cess Laven­tille Sec­ondary School.

As part of the broad­er Day of Car­ing ini­tia­tive, the com­pa­ny has con­tributed com­put­ers, fans, plants, and a school crest with em­ploy­ees and part­ners vol­un­teer­ing to in­stall these items.

The Unit­ed Way Day of Car­ing ini­tia­tive is a sig­na­ture vol­un­teer em­ploy­ee en­gage­ment event. It al­lows cor­po­rate part­ners to en­gage their em­ploy­ees to give their time and en­er­gy to se­lect­ed projects. The range of projects can in­clude im­prov­ing schools and NGO build­ings, beach clean-ups, gar­den­ing and de­liv­er­ing care pack­ages to el­der­ly homes.

Uni­com­er thought­ful­ly se­lect­ed Suc­cess Laven­tille Sec­ondary School as part of the com­pa­ny’s on­go­ing com­mit­ment to com­mu­ni­ty de­vel­op­ment, par­tic­u­lar­ly in un­der­served ar­eas. For over 30 years, Courts, a brand of the Uni­com­er Group, has proud­ly spon­sored the Courts Sound Spe­cial­ists of Laven­tille, en­abling mem­bers of the Laven­tille com­mu­ni­ty to ac­tive­ly par­tic­i­pate in na­tion­al cul­tur­al events.

This re­cent in­vest­ment in Suc­cess Laven­tille Sec­ondary School will fur­ther ben­e­fit the com­mu­ni­ty, in­clud­ing fam­i­lies and friends of the steel or­ches­tra mem­ber­ship who are con­nect­ed to the school.

The full project scope in­clud­ed:

Light elec­tri­cal works and in­stal­la­tion of over forty fans in class­rooms, mak­ing the learn­ing spaces safer and more com­fort­able

Do­na­tion of six com­put­ers to en­hance dig­i­tal learn­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties for the stu­dents

In­stal­la­tion of a new school crest on the front wall, re­in­forc­ing school pride

Plant­i­ng a va­ri­ety of plants around the school­yard, cre­at­ing a vi­brant and invit­ing en­vi­ron­ment.

Through its brands Courts and ServiTech, along with the sup­port of sev­er­al cor­po­rate part­ners, the com­pa­ny has been able to ex­e­cute this am­bi­tious project. These part­ners in­clud­ed the Min­istry of Agri­cul­ture, Land and Fish­eries, G3 Hard­ware, Sig­nart Ltd., Pow­ertech Elec­tri­cal Com­pa­ny, the Na­tion­al Main­te­nance Train­ing and Se­cu­ri­ty Com­pa­ny (MTS), the Suc­cess Laven­tille Sec­ondary School Alum­ni and Courts Sound Spe­cial­ists of Laven­tille.

Shi­va Mun­gal, Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor of Uni­com­er, com­ment­ed on the im­por­tance of Uni­com­er’s cor­po­rate vol­un­teerism to com­mu­ni­ties. He said: “Uni­com­er is very hap­py to be a cor­po­rate part­ner with Unit­ed Way on this Day of Car­ing ini­tia­tive. As a com­pa­ny, we try to stress with­in our teams and or­gan­i­sa­tion that giv­ing of re­sources, fund­ing and time is im­por­tant.

“But time is some­thing you can’t get back, mak­ing it one of the most valu­able things you can of­fer. As such, we’re pleased we are able to vol­un­teer our time and we hope to be a part of the Day of Car­ing in years to come.”

The Prin­ci­pal of Suc­cess Laven­tille Sec­ondary School, Stacey Leza­ma, al­so shared her thoughts on the im­pact of the project on the school. She re­marked, “the school has great­ly ap­pre­ci­at­ed the con­tri­bu­tion made by Uni­com­er as a stake­hold­er. The SLSS staff and stu­dents will ben­e­fit im­mense­ly from the in­vest­ment in com­put­ers, fans and plants. It was a plea­sure see­ing the staff come in and as­sist with the beau­ti­fi­ca­tion project, even as they in­ter­act­ed with our stu­dent vol­un­teers.”

Uni­com­er re­mains com­mit­ted to com­mu­ni­ty de­vel­op­ment through its cor­po­rate so­cial re­spon­si­bil­i­ty ini­tia­tives. This project al­lowed the or­gan­i­sa­tion to en­hance the school en­vi­ron­ment al­low­ing stu­dents to thrive and feel a sense of pride in their school. This ini­tia­tive has an ex­tra spe­cial mean­ing to us as we made a note­wor­thy im­pact on the com­mu­ni­ty’s de­vel­op­ment through in­vest­ments in youth ed­u­ca­tion.
