Thanks to the support of several local stakeholders/donors, The Rotary Club of St. Andrew today (October 21) officially handed over an Independent Living Facility to girls over eighteen years of age at the Homestead Place of Safety in Stony Hill, St. Andrew. The building was renovated to serve as a transitional Home for the girls and to foster more independence and self-confidence. Food For The Poor (FFP) Jamaica was able to outfit the entire facility with all the furniture and equipment needed for the comfort of the beneficiaries including a refrigerator, stove, tiles, pillows, beds, mattresses, chairs, tables and dressers. Participating in the ceremony were (from right) Dr. Paul Brown, District Governor for the Rotary District 7020; Marsha Burrell, Relief Development Manager at FFP; Robert Gibbs JP, President of the Rotary Club of St. Andrew; Mrs. Marie Powell, the Club’s Immediate Past President; Mrs. Rosalee Gage-Grey, CEO of Child Development Agency; His Excellency David Fitton, British High Commissioner and other representatives of the donors.
