My name is Samuel Atere-Roberts and I am President of the Prince of Wales Alumni Association, Georgia Chapter, and also the Project Manager of the Solar Powered Computer Center for the Prince Of Wales School. I will like to thank Allafrica.com, on behalf of all the chapters, including Georgia, Maryland/Washington DC, New Jersey, California, and the United Kingdom/Ireland for covering the commissioning ceremony and provifing this report on the project. However, as I have reiterated several times during the last two weeks, this project was a team effort involving contributions from all the Chapters noted above including support from the Freetown Chapter. I will appreciate if Allafrica.com will make this clarification on all future articles on this project. Thank you for your understanding.
In response to the comment from Mr. E. Tucker, I will like to confirm that a total of 2.3 kW of |Solar Power was also commissioned as part of this project. The classroom housing the Computer Center is currently only powered by solar energy.
