PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) -- Mobile phone provider Digicel Group Ltd. pledged to rebuild 20 primary schools across Haiti during the launch of a charity Monday.

Two schools will be rebuilt in each of Haiti's 10 departments as part of the Digicel Haiti Foundation, the Jamaica-based company said in a statement. The schools were damaged by past hurricanes and flooding.
 
Digicel's chairman, Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, called the initiative a show of appreciation for the impoverished Caribbean nation, where the mobile provider began offering service 10 months ago.

The company reached 1 million customers in December and has spent more than $260 million in Haiti so far, the largest single private investment in the country's history.

O'Brien spoke at a ceremony inaugurating the first rebuilt primary school, a 240-student facility in the rural outskirts of the capital of Port-au-Prince.

Is this a good thing? Ulterior motive? Is Digicel good for Haiti or should we be wary and watch them closely?

Of course not Haitixchange. 

Have you seen what passes for schools in rural haiti???  They could repair/rebuild all 20 for a pittance or the price of an ad campaign. 

A good deed but not the second coming.
