We have reached the goal ! Thanks to international and national support we finally got the funds together and are ready to set the date to build the new roof for the Center. All began with the offer of a $7000 USD matching grant from PAVE, which inspired our fundraising video. Then friends from Australia, Canada, USA, Germany, France, Italy, and UK also donated. The GoBlin Hill family generously added $1000 USD and the last quarter of the needed sum was given by the German Embassy.
The German Consul came to honor us with his visit at the Community Center in April, 2022. He inspected the terrible state of our rotting, leaky roof first-hand before deciding to embark on such a project. We then met with persons from the community for a good lunch. After mountains of tedious paperwork, our directors, Nicola 'Nishan' Mayer, Mr. Barclay and went to Kingston to sign the contract and receive the check from the German Embassy. Full of gratefulness we continue to put the pieces together now. And honestly we must commend Nishan for her stamina! And of course we must thank Mr. Barclay, Mr. Mayne, B.O.S.A.B.S. FBNBH, Niesha Brown and all our beautiful parents and children of the neighboring communities for their great support ! Together we are strong
