The St. Benedictâs Day Nursery and Childrenâs Home is seeking the publicâs assistance with their rebuilding project.{{more}}
Sister Nyra Anne Pajotte, the Administrator of the Nursery and Childrenâs home, said in a press release that the rebuilding project, which began on August 17, 2009, has run out of cash.
The release said that the homeâs building funds were invested in CLICO International, âto be used for the project on maturity.â
âCLICO has been approached since June 25th, 2009, to make available to the project monies due to St. Benedictâs upon maturity of the funds which has been invested with them primarily for this rebuilding project. To date, we have not received a favorable response,â the release said.
St. Benedictâs, which is located at Mt. Bentinck in the north-eastern town of Georgetown, serves as a day care centre as well as a home to several disadvantaged children.
Pajotte said in light of the present situation she is appealing to the public for assistance.
âIf no funds become available, the project would have to be discontinued immediately,â Pajotte said.
âThe stopping of the project would be a very sad and devastating situation for all concerned. The children are eagerly looking forward to their new home.
The children, as many of you are aware, are residing in a make shift house that leaks when the rain falls and with other poor elements for a long time now.
âI look forward to a quick and favorable solution to this urgent matter,â the release said.
