(Rotaract Press Release)
As a part of the Rotaract Club of Tortola’s continued commitment to promoting literacy and international understanding within the Virgin Islands; representatives of the Club visited the Bregado Flax Educational Centre Primary Division and the Robinson O’Neal Memorial Primary School on Virgin Gorda on September 17th & 18th 2012 respectively.
The Club presented each of the schools with 30 Oxford First Learner’s Spanish Dictionaries which will be rotated every year amongst the students of the schools.
