Low-performing primary schools will be the main focus for the Richard Stephenson-led RISARC Foundation, through the 2009 staging of the Caribbean Classic Golf Invitational (CCGI), and will provide 400 computers to boost the educational capacity of those schools.

The foundation has partnered with the Ministry of Education this year to assist with the placement of this equipment to aid schools, which continue to record low Grade Six Achievement Test scores.

Jamaican-born Stephenson founded the United States-based RISARC Company - a health-care consulting and software-solution firm.

Among the schools being considered by the RISARC Foundation to benefit from this year's CCGI event are Bickersteth and Anchovy primary schools, both in St James, and Hague Primary School in Trelawny.

This year's CCGI feature event will be the Muay Thai Champions of Champions II Fight to be held from June 24-28 at The Aqueduct in Rose Hall, Montego Bay.

The championship will see fighters from 12 countries, vying for the championship belt.

Among the contestants are two female fighters, Julie Kitchen from the United Kingdom and Angela Riviera-Parr from the United States.
