Computers wing their way from Padiham to Africa
LCWS Recycling Ltd, which is based in Wyre Street, has donated 10 fully functioning computers and a server, along with hundreds of books, to the Marinel Primary School in Accra, Ghana.
The computers will be set up in the classrooms, the school library and also in the office for administration purposes.

"Last year we donated computer components to a local school, so that the pupils could learn about building their own computers.
"So this year we wanted to replicate the same charitable notion.”
The Marinel School has 400 pupils, 16 classrooms and six more are underway.

The school was founded by Theophilus Nelson and his daughter, Maria, is the marketing director. She approached LCWS for help while working at a school in Failsworth.
