KINGSTON, Jamaica \u2014 Sean Paul and Dwight K. Williams, both named by the Observer as Wolmer\u2019s alumni, handed over Samsung tablets at Wolmer\u2019s Boys on 15 January 2021, in a Sean Paul Foundation and Flow Foundation partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a student at Wolmer\u2019s for a number of years, I was given the opportunity to receive a great education and we want the same for the students today,\u201d Sean Paul said. Williams, then Flow\u2019s 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 \u201ca fine demonstration of the Wolmerian spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Old Boys\u2019 Association, was photographed at the handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
