KINGSTON, Jamaica — Sean Paul and Dwight K. Williams, both named by the Observer as Wolmer’s alumni, handed over Samsung tablets at Wolmer’s Boys on 15 January 2021, in a Sean Paul Foundation and Flow Foundation partnership.
“As a student at Wolmer’s for a number of years, I was given the opportunity to receive a great education and we want the same for the students today,” Sean Paul said. Williams, then Flow’s commercial director for mobile, said the tablets were for online learning. Principal Dwight Pennycooke said the devices would go to lower-school students who had asked for help, and called the collaboration “a fine demonstration of the Wolmerian spirit.”
The Observer later recorded that while most schools in the 100-tablet programme received five devices, Sean Paul gifted his alma mater ten, each with a Flow SIM and 25 gigabytes of data. Garfield Reece, then president of the Wolmer’s Old Boys’ Association, was photographed at the handover.
