Theodosia Harding & Victor Wyse Donate Computers & Printer To Alma Mater
As part of their commitment to enhancing Information Technology at the Bishop Johnson Memorial School (BJMS), alumni Madam Theodosia Emma Harding and Mr. Victor Wyse have donated essential IT equipment to their former school. The donation, presented on June 13, 2025, at the school campus, included two brand new desktop computers, a laptop, a multifunctional printer (scanner, photocopier, and printer), and various stationery items.
Speaking on behalf of his sister, Mr. Donald Theo Harding expressed his profound joy in delivering the items to the school administration. He noted that the donation reflects Madam Harding’s continuous desire to give back to her alma mater and support education. He also acknowledged Mr. Victor Wyse, a fellow BJMS alumnus, for his generous contribution of a colour printer.
Mr. Harding emphasized that his sister, known for her philanthropic spirit, has a long history of supporting communities and individuals. He referenced her previous charitable efforts, including adopting a hospital in Freetown and providing assistance to the underprivileged in churches and local communities. Her passion for giving back, he said, continues to drive her to support meaningful causes.
It is worth noting that two years ago, Madam Harding visited Sierra Leone to participate in BJMS’s Foundation Day celebrations. During that visit, she identified critical gaps in the school’s resources, which inspired her to provide this timely support. Upon consulting her brother on how best to assist the school, they agreed that strengthening the school’s administrative capacity—particularly in handling public examination documentation—was a priority.
Mr. Harding also recalled that Madam Harding was a distinguished student at BJMS four decades ago. She served as a school prefect, was an active member of the Green House, an athlete, and played an integral role in various school activities.
Receiving the items on behalf of the school, Mr. Victor Lamine Mbogba, Principal of the Junior Secondary School, expressed deep appreciation for the generous donations. He praised both Madam Harding and Mr. Wyse for their dedication to giving back and encouraged other alumni to prepare themselves to support the school in similar ways.
The event concluded with the singing of the BJMS school song, during which Madam Harding joined virtually to participate in the celebration.
