According to Mr Adofo, his organisation wants to use the opportunity to sensitise the children on variety of ICT courses available, adding that it is time for the children to make up their mind to choose Information Technology as a career.
He said ICT courses would not be limited to pupils of Street Academy but would be extended to the teachers in the school at no cost.
Ms Sophia Aubyn, Representative of International Marketing Office of LSC, said her organisation is also going to offer partial scholarships to the kids in the area of ICT.
She said the London School of Commerce is also willing to offer scholarships to students from first degree to the highest academic level.
Ms Anita Annan, an Administrator of Street Academy, thanked the two organisations for the items.

“The items has taken a burden off their shoulders as you will be in the office and pupil would throng in only to ask of pencil, pen among others,’’ she added.
