Students, staff and supporters of the St. Winifred’s School in Pine Hill, St. Michael Ӱ donate a cheque in the sum of BDS $5000.00 towards the ongoing relief and reconstruction efforts in the impacted islands of The Bahamas. The cheque was presented by students Hayley Croney and Aerin Hill to Ronald Jackson, Executive Director, CDEMA during general assembly at the school on Monday October 14, 2019. Both students were applauded for their initiative and kind contribution in designing custom bracelets, which were sold to the school community in efforts to raise funds for those impacted by Major Hurricane Dorian in The Bahamas.
In accepting the donation, Ronald Jackson expressed profound gratitude to the students and encouraged them to continue in the spirit of giving, “this demonstration of kindness and love to our brothers and sisters in The Bahamas is encouraging and should be applauded. Your contribution will go towards helping those individuals who are still in shelters post Hurricane Dorian to help them recover and start building back their lives and livelihoods”.
