Community-Oriented Gesture from Lightning Aquatics Swim Club

The Lightning Aquatics Swim Club has once again demonstrated its commitment to the community by handing over school supplies to the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, and Empowerment’s Welfare Unit. This marks the seventh year the club has partnered with the Ministry to support children’s educational needs under the Welfare Unit’s care.

Donation Overview

The Welfare Unit will distribute the donated items, which include school shoes, stationery, water bottles, and bags. The Ministry will also oversee the proper use of these items to ensure they have the maximum possible impact.

Importance of the Donation

According to Jahn McFarlane, Head of the Welfare Unit, the donation is a significant contribution to the children in their care. It will help reduce the risk of absenteeism, dropout, and those who may struggle to engage in learning due to a lack of resources.

Call to Action

Their continued partnership with the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, and Empowerment underscores the importance of community involvement in promoting educational success and social well-being.
