The Vinsave Summer Programme came to a close on Thursday, August 18 with a display of talent by the children and an exhibition of their work at the Vinsave Auditorum.

Over 60 children participated in the six-week programme, which focused on the theme “Be Happy and Peaceful.”{{more}}

The children were engaged in a number of activities such as Craft, Dancing, Nutrition, Science and Language. They also went on field trips, participated in an educational tour of the Byesave poultry and Biogas production at Byera.

The programme also found time to entertain the elderly at the Lewis Punnett Home at Glen in song.

Two outputs/sucesses of the programme were the formation of the “Vinsave Past Students Dance Group,” headed by Nicolette Thomas and the “Young Drummers” with Nigel Duncan. The young groups have pledged to share their skills and time for the continual development of the centre.

Guest speaker at the close of the programme was Deacon Alison Samuel of the St George’s Cathedral, who spoke on the topic “The importance of prayer,” where she encouraged the children to pray at all times and worship God. Remarks came from director of Vinsave Janice Fraser and an overview of the programme was given by two facilitators, Denise Parris and Yolande Jack. A prayer was offered by Shimika Pope and the vote of thanks by Floreen Thomas.

The Vinsave Summer Programme is an annual feature.
