Eighty children from the community of Top Belair received gifts of school supplies when the Fountain Seventh Day Adventist Church Community Service Department hosted a “Back to School” programme.

The event was held at the Sugar Corner Junction in Top Belair on Saturday August 25, 2018.

The objective of the programme was to foster bonds between the church and the community by providing much needed assistance to families especially the less fortunate and vulnerable ones as they prepare their children for the new school year.

Sister Phylis Cumberbatch, Community Service Leader for the Fountain Seventh Day Adventist Church encouraged parents to play a vital role in the development of their children if they wish for them to be successful in this life.

She also encouraged the parents to be integrally involved with their children in doing their school work especially homework, ensuring that it is done and finally to affirm them when they would have done their best.

Other speakers included Elder Leron France who spoke on the role of parents in the overall development of their children especially their spiritual development; Dr. Amrie Morris-Patterson who provided tips on school preparation, and Pastor Shane Franklyn, District Pastor for the Southern District of the SVG Mission of Seventh Day Adventist who offered prayers of consecration for the children and their families and the community at large.
