He said Orica was a global company which embraces community projects wherever it operates.
Speaking earlier, Kalulushi Member of Parliament (MP) Rayford Mbulu said government through the Ministry of Education had fully recognized the importance of being computer literate as the world had changed .
He said the people of Chambishi could not afford to remain behind, but move forward as government had introduced computer subjects to be compulsory in schools.
He urged other companies in the district to emulate Orica as good practices must be morally emulated.
In a Vote of Thanks, Twalubuka Pupil Annet Mwanza said the company added elegance to its computer laboratory.
Mwanza said the school previously did not have a computer laboratory and as such could not meet the newly introduced curriculum.
She said pupils would now find it easy to use computers and be able to undertake research thereby benefiting the community and the country at large.
