The visit was part of the community projects and assessments.The group of five young ladies namely Nandranie Singh, Gwen Roberts, Arlene Stephen, June Ann Whitney and Nalissa Mathoo decided to move away from the city and head to Berbice where they visited three homes namely, Dharm Shala in Fort Canje, Berbice; the Good Samarian Home in Stanleytown, New AmsterdamThe members of the group and other picture of the visits to Berbice.and the Mission Of Charity Home in New Amsterdam.The class was divided into groups. During the visit they assisted the inmates and made some tangible donations.The group on the first visit was not too pleased with how things were at the Dharm Shala and decided to make a second trip in their effort to make a difference. Of major concern to them was the state of the facility. Some of the residents were stricken with some grave illnesses. There were residents with Tuberculosis who were in dire need of assistance. The students now want to move those persons to a health institution so that they could get better treatment.Pooling their resources together and gathering whatever assistance they could, they set out on another mission to assist the residents of the homes. During subsequent visits they donated clothes, soaps, tooth brushes, towels, tooth paste, soap powder, Dettol , bleach, groceries and also made a cash donation to the caretakers.Coordinator of the group, Nalissa Mathoo,NBA Jerseys Outlet Shop, stated that they are willing to make it a monthly venture and hope that more persons can get onboard to assist the residents of the home and others in need .The group would also like to say a big thank you to everyone that contributed and helped to make the venture a success.Receiving the donation on behalf of the home were Dennis Singh and Mrs. Erskine who both expressed thanks on behalf of the owners, the caretakers and residents of the home. They also wished the students success in their project and all their future activities. |
