The New Amsterdam Lion’s Club’s Nutritional Enhancement Programme is continuing to make a difference in the lives of school children in Berbice.
Over sixty students of the St Therese’s Primary School received a hot meal and books last week. As part of the club’s fifty-first year in Guyana, a new school is targeted each month and school children benefit from a hot meal as well as educational books. Lion Leila Clarke- Daniels stated that this is the second signature project of the club this year.
”The programme is done monthly in all the primary schools in New Amsterdam”, she added. “We have also distributed to them little story books based on our International [Lions] President’s theme, ‘literacy, we would like to join with him in encouraging our students to read and read exclusively and also to help them to spell”.
The next school to benefit from the initiative will be the Overwinning Primary School.
Mrs. Clarke- Daniels also thanked an anonymous donor, to the Nutritional Enhancement Programme,” who would usually give us a monetary contribution towards this activity”. She is also encouraging the public “to join us, because this initiative is basically ours, but if we can get help from the public, we would like to see more being done for these students.
We know what a hot lunch and full belly can do, and if there are others who can join us—we would like to see—twice monthly that we can bring lunch to the kids”, she related.
Other activities of the club in the near future, she revealed, will include Past District’s Governor Month. Lion Leila stated that there are currently six Past District Governors in District 60-A, “who we would like to congratulate”.
The position, she stated, is a very big position and they [the Governors] are in charge of the Districts of Suriname, Trinidad and Guyana “and we congratulate them for a job well done. “We also plan to continue our eye- glass clinic and do tree planting at school and we have a number of other educational materials that we plan to take to the Stanleytown Community Library and N/A Prisons”.
