Staff of the Ministry for Education, National Heritage Culture and Arts visited the Homes of Hope, St Christopher’s Home, and the Early Intervention Centre as part of their support service to the community in the first quarter.
The community visit is part of planned activities for each quarter organised by the ministry’s social committee. Three different groups were delegated from each section of the ministry headed by senior officers to visit selected communities.
The ministry is adamant to “step up” with the theme by increasing the number of social visits to communities compared to last year. “We are committed to reach out to the unfortunate and the needy by creating community awareness and empowering them to believe they have a sense of belonging in the community,” permanent secretary Dr Brij Lal said.
The door mums at the Homes of Hope were delighted to receive the gifts and goods on behalf of the children and young mothers at the home.
They appreciated the visit and described this occasion as the beginning of an early celebration for Mother’s Day for everyone at the home. Similar sentiments were shared at St Christopher’s Home and Early Intervention Centre.
