Twenty five underprivileged primary school children from the Macoya/Trincity area received school shoes, book bags and stationery among other supplies to get ready for the new school year. Councillor for Macoya/Trincity, Ria Boodoo, hosted a back to school ceremony, entitled It's All About The Kids, last week Wednesday at the Dinsley Evangelical Bible Church, Singh Street Extension, Dinsley Village, Tacarigua.
The school's effort attracted a few sponsors including the National Self Help Commission, businesses in the St Augustine/Tunapuna area and a number of private individuals. Boodoo told the children: "Do not allow this financial situation which you are experiencing today hinder us from accomplishing our goals. Education and keeping faith in our God is the only way towards achieving a comfortable future."
