UPP All Saints West Branch Makes Donations
to Three Government Primary Schools
Three government primaries in the All Saints West (ASW) Constituency received donations of school supplies today, August 29, from the United Progressive Party (UPP), ahead of next week’s opening of schools.
Two members of the ASW Branch, Deputy Chair Lorilyn Walker and Barbara Coates handed over the donations – of exercise books, rulers, pencils, erasers, and sharpeners – to the administration of the Sea View Farm Primary; the Freemans Village Primary; and the Buckleys Primary for distribution by the respective principals.
“We believe that principals and teachers are best suited to determine which students need these supplies most,” says the UPP Women’s Forum, which funded the purchase of 240 notebooks, 400 pencils, and 200 each of the other items.
“Most children begin the school year fairly well equipped; but as the term goes on, their parents might not be in the position to top up their supplies. These donations should help to fill those gaps,” the Forum adds.
At present, the UPP is unrepresented in that constituency. However, Party officials explain, “that is no reason for the children of All Saints West not to enjoy the consideration they previously experienced. Hence, the Women’s Forum, as a vibrant unit of the UPP, decided to step up … and stepped in.”
