THE JACQUES Road homework and computer centres in Mountain View, St Andrew, received some much-needed upgrade on the weekend, courtesy of some 40 sailors from the Royal Canadian Navy's HMCS Preserver Protecteur-class ship.
The team was also supported by 19 volunteers from the international development organisation, Cuso International and the Jamaica Defence Force.
The sailors, who were in Jamaica for the weekend, took a day to paint, repair and add new windows, bookshelves and electrical installations to the facilities.
President of the Jacques Road Parenting Association, Ann-Marie Lynch, said the assistance came at an opportune time, as the centres were struggling to find enough funds to carry out necessary repairs.
"I prayed for this day. We were trying to collect (funds) to repair the windows and doors, and most of the work we had to do ourselves. So I am happy and grateful," Lynch said. read more...
