Students from Utuali’i Primary School were the happy recipients of five brand new HP computers and a printer last week.
The donation was courtesy of Taulaimalolo Marcus Blackmore, from Sydney, Australia.
Taualaimalolo, Managing Director of Blackmore’s Foods, is a matai from Utuali’i living in Australia.
He has always wanted to assist the community of Utuali’i from afar.
Last week, on behalf of Taualaimalolo, his relative, Matiu Moeligia Tupua, presented the gift to the school.
Matiu reminded the students about how fortunate they are to be able to access such equipment.
“You are lucky to have such opportunity like this,” said Matiu.
“Use it wisely to assist you with your school work and take care of it as if it’s your own. You are the future of your families and our village if you are smart, so do your best in school.”

In accepting the donation, Member of Parliament, Tuisa Tasi Patea acknowledged the gifts.
Tuisa said the new computers will definitely help the students of Utuali’i Primary School especially in an age where technology is such a vital factor in learning.
“I hope the machines will encourage our students to stay in school and create more scientists for us.”
Rev. Faraimo Ti’iti’i, of Utuali’i, conducted a brief prayer service to bless the donation before the machines were presented.
