At their 25 year reunion, the Fatima Class of ’86 decided to give back to the school in the form of new computers, and a fundraising committee was created comprising of Kevin Giffard, Mark Laquis, Alain Laquis, Anthony De Silva, Dean Ammon, David Downer, David Franco, Christopher Camacho, Shiraz Ali, Ravi Tewarie and Graham Fernandes.

Through a partnership with various companies the committee was able to raise over $350,000 which allowed them to provide thirty-seven (37) state of the art computers to the school, as well as to upgrade the associated information technology infrastructure at the school.

This is envisioned to be an ongoing project with Fatima becoming a computer literate school.

The Class of ’86 heartfelt thanks go out to all who were involved in this project and their wish that God will shower them with his richest blessings. They would also like to give special thanks and recognition to Signpost Limited and Pepper Advertising for their generous assistance.
