Speaking at the 2014 National Awards, a ceremony that recognizes the outstanding performances of primary and secondary school students in their various examinations in 2013, Williams said that the identification and acknowledgement of outstanding scholastic achievement is one of the many ways LIME shows its continued support in the community.

“The Annual National Awards Ceremony complements our company’s annual calendar of educational events,” Williams pointed out, at the Methodist Church Hall in Kingstown.

“Each year, we offer two scholarships to students of staff who performed well at the Common Entrance examinations and two additional scholarships are given to children of external customers for academic excellence, also at Common Entrance. The sponsorship of the annual LIME Lions Club South Secondary Schools Public Speaking Competition, our in-house Internet Summer School, which provides training in basic and advanced computer and Internet programming during the summer months, are just a few examples of our commitment to youth development and our support for the Education Revolution.”

Apart from sponsoring the event, LIME for the seventh year, awarded the Most Outstanding Student after Remediation; this went to D’mario Browne of the Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia.

Williams presented Browne with a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Williams commended the students present for their efforts thus far and implored them to continue to aim for success in their chosen courses of study. She also congratulated the parents and guardians, and called on them to continue supporting their children and wards.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Ministry of Education for once again allowing us the privilege of partnering with them…. Let this time be but a stepping-stone to continued growth and development,” Williams added.

LIME has been sponsoring the event for the past 10 years.
