Melisizwe Brothers make monetary donation to WPP

It may have been a small gesture from some little boys, but a cash donation from the Melisizwe Brothers is a big deal to the World Pediatric Project (WPP).

Last Friday, July 8, the brothers, Mark, Zachary and Seth James, handed over $300 to Simon Carey and Sister Jacquline Browne-King of WPP Caribbean, during a brief, but touching ceremony at the Paediatric Ward of the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH).{{more}}

The boys raised the funds on behalf of the WPP, at a concert held the week before on the visiting cruise ship Freewinds.

Following a tour of the Paediatric Ward, where the brothers interacted with patients and faculty, Zachary James passed over the funds to Carey.

They boys indicated it was a delight and honour to make the contribution to WPP, and pledged to continue to assist in any way they could.

Carey and Browne-King, chief development officer and Eastern Caribbean regional representative respectively, thanked the brothers for the gesture, pointing out that every gesture is a step closer in assisting the organization to achieve its goal of saving the lives of children who may not be able to receive assistance on their own.

The WPP officials called on others to follow the example of the brothers, pointing out that donations do not necessarily have to be a lot, but it’s the thought that counts.

The Melisizwe Brothers built a relationship with WPP over the past months, when they hosted an overseas family that had travelled to St Vincent and the Grenadines for medical treatment from WPP; they have also performed at WPP organized functions.

The boys have been making a name for themselves with numerous performances around St Vincent and the Grenadines, which have been well received by all audiences.
