Rotary's Helping Hand
As part of its 50th Anniversary celebrations, the Rotary Club of Barbados has repaired the homes of two Barbadians who have disabilities - Belfield Hurdle who lives in Newcastle, St John (top picture above), and Cheryl Belgrave of Long Bay, St. Philip (bottom picture above).
The Rotary Club of Barbados was chartered on March 7, 1962 and in its 50 years, it has undertaken projects that have benefited the elderly and the young, the handicapped and the gifted, as well as the environment. Projects have spanned the gamut from structural facilities for the physically and mentally challenged to access to pacemakers; from enriching senior citizens’ lives to providing leadership programmes in children’s homes; from hospital and hostel refurbishment to wheel chairs for the sea.
Some of the projects
which the Rotary Club has supported include the
Children’s Learning Centre, the Respite Care Centre, the Boview Home
at the Challenor Centre and the Evalina Smith Ward at the St Philip District
Hospital.
