Rotary Plates for Peace : A True Opportunity to Serve!

Do you remember the showers of rainfall we had on Friday evening?  Well, during those incessant showers, a small group of faithful servants-  Rotarians  were busy doing the prep work for a healthy meal for  under privileged children from the community of  Vieux- Fort and Surrounding areas. True Commitment is the backbone of any service organization and these Rotarians proved that in the midst of all the bad weather.

The afternoon of Saturday October 20^th, the Vieux-Fort Primary School came alive with excitement from children and Rotarians alike!  This Project, dubbed “ Rotary Plates for Peace” (name coined by Rotarian Precious) was a merger of a soup kitchen and games afternoon for underprivileged children in the Vieux-Fort community and surrounding areas.

The Objectives of this project were:

1.       To provide underprivileged children with a healthy meal

2.       To provide play and play materials to children in a guided free play context.

3.       To provide children with conflict resolution skills and strategies during the play context.

4.       To develop positive interactional and cooperative  attitudes  in children in order to contribute toward conflict prevention  in the wider society

ummer 2018 was a blast at Grow Well! We held 4 successful camps for children between the ages of 5 -18 years and it is safe to say that all our attendees enjoyed their summer at our centre! We were also extremely proud to provide 26 scholarships to needy students from Gros Islet!
