More than 200 students also were gifted with bags of toys for Christmas, among them students at the Barrouallie Anglican School and received by principal, Sharon Dalton on behalf of the school.

“Our primary mission is to provide for the needs of individuals in low income areas and communities living in poverty, in the USA and globally, including but not limited to countries such as St Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago…and Haiti,” Fife explained.

She said her organisation also has done work in countries of Africa and is making a huge difference in the lives of persons through their donations.

“Our mission is actualised by the distribution and/or shipping of food, clothing and essential items to our targeted audiences.

“In addition, we conduct planned activities and drives throughout the year such as our Back to School Drive in July, the Easter Homeless Drive in April, and our Holiday Toy Giveaway Drive in November,” Fife said.

She said apart from the schools mentioned the organisation also donated to the Gomea Methodist School and sponsored several shelters after the volcanic eruptions in April last year.

Jehovah Jir-eh Ministries was founded by the late preacher Agnes Enid Fife (Esther’s mother) who was born in SVG and migrated to Trinidad and Tobago and later to the USA.
