Twenty Tivoli Gardens High School students were gifted with tablets purchased through alumni donations at a special handover ceremony last Tuesday.  Addressing the ceremony, Cleve Laing, president of the Tivoli Gardens High School Alumni Track Corporation, noted that the organisation had recognised the financial challenges and the mental strains of the pandemic on the youth and decided to step in to offer upliftment to the school by providing some of the students who have been impacted.  Reminiscing on his graduation from high school, Laing, who is known popularly as the gospel recording artiste and philanthropist Lt Stitchie, said that “poverty was not an excuse for failure”.  “At my graduation at Holy Trinity Cathedral on North Street, I was standing in one of my friend’s shoes I borrowed for the ceremony. How fitting is it that I came back to sing Wear Yuh Size,” he shared, adding that today he can wear his size because of a commitment to a purpose.  “Work at your level, don’t bite off more than you can chew, and be comfortable in your own skin because you are perfectly made. Don’t allow others to define you; know who you are and be comfortable in your own skin. You are here this morning for a purpose, for the purpose of goodness,” Lt Stitchie emphasised to the students and their parents.
