BELAIR–For the past seven years, Rotary Club St. Martin Sunrise partnered with Motorworld on a project in which more than 550 elementary schoolchildren are presented with bags stuffed with school supplies. Every year, two schools are selected randomly to receive supplies. This year St. Joseph School and Seventh Day Adventist School were selected to receive the donation.
Teachers were presented with a token of appreciation for the hard work they put into educating their students.
President of Rotary Club St. Martin Sunrise Valda Hazel stated that she is proud that the club and Motorworld managed to execute this project yet another year.
She is positive that the school bags will be an added value to the pupils and parents alike. Even though the majority of pupils already have a school bag, this additional bag can be used for their extra-curricular activities or held as reserve in case their other bag gets destroyed.
Motorworld marketing-management consultant Jacqueline Louis shared that Motorworld takes pride in supporting the community, particularly the youth in these ventures, which help to contribute to their educational growth and development, and encouraged the students to “stay in school, don’t be a fool.”
Project coordinator Marcellia Henry thanked Motorworld and Rotary Sunrise for their commitment and for their dedication and willingness to continue to promote and support education in our community. “As an educator it is my distinct honour to have coordinated this project over the past seven years,” Henry said.
Pupils of St. Joseph School presented Rotary Club and Motorworld with a large self-made “Thank You” card. Seventh Day Adventist School’s children sang a song in expressing their gratitude for the donation.
Rotary Club St. Martin Sunrise is currently working on more projects that support the community in particular in the areas of youth and education.
