So­ca star Machel Mon­tano has do­nat­ed a quar­ter of a mil­lion dol­lars to Queen’s Roy­al Col­lege (QRC), to fa­cil­i­tate the re­con­struc­tion of the school’s sci­ence lab.

The an­nounce­ment was made on Sat­ur­day night while Mon­tano was per­form­ing at QRC’s an­nu­al Car­ni­val fete, pop­u­lar­ly known as Fete Royale, at the school’s St Clair com­pound.

Dur­ing his set, Mon­tano paused his per­for­mance and called QRC prin­ci­pal David Si­mon and Old Boys’ As­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent Ken­rick Har­rin­auth on stage. He then pre­sent­ed a pro­mo­tion­al cheque and ex­plained to the pa­trons why he was do­ing so.
