Children attending George Town
Primary School will have better access to healthy lunches thanks to a donation
from the Water Authority Board.
The donation of $2,600 will go
toward the Lean on Me Committee’s work in supporting local persons in need.
The committee, founded by a group
of dedicated young professionals in 2006, determined that some of the children
of George Town Primary School are in desperate need of funding for school
uniforms and lunches. The donation from
Water Authority-Cayman will go toward providing healthy lunches for these young
growing minds.
“The Water Authority is honoured to
support this very important programme, which will provide our youth with the
tools and fuel they need to learn and grow into aspiring young men and women of
our community,” said Water Authority
Director Gelia Frederick-van Genderen.
Derri Lee, chairperson, of the Lean
on Me Committee said the principal of George Town Primary was touched by the
generosity of the donations.
“In these difficult
economic times it is very much appreciated,” she said.
