POND ISLAND:--- School children from the Methodist Agogic Center (MAC) Academy visited TelEm Group during the past week to learn all about communication technology and the people behind it.
The students of Grade 1 visited the company's Main Offices on Pond Island last Friday, ( March 12th) with a second visit on Monday, March 24th to complete a school project on different types of communication.
The youngsters and their teachers were given a tour of the company's various departments and the equipment that the company uses to provide mobile voice and data, broadband and internet services to the St. Maarten community.
The visit was organized by TelEm Group's Human Resources & Development Department (HR&D), in collaboration with the Technical Department's Network Engineer, Mr. Jed Carty.
"The children seemed to be impressed with what they saw and some of them were not afraid to ask questions," said visit coordinator, Carmita Brooks of the HR&D Department.
"We hosted 26children on the first visit and another 30 on Monday and all left with a small token of their visit to TelEm," said Carmita.
She thanked Mr. Carty for his enthusiasm in acting as a tour guide for the visitors and management in the various departments for taking time out of their busy agendas to meet with and answer the questions of the school children.
Carmita also thanked the students and teachers for their "Thank You" cards at the end of the visits.
