On Saturday December 24th 2016, The Leo Club of Dominica presented two (2) hampers to two (2) different families from the Dubique Community.
Augustina Anselm and Marianna Anselm’s families were both seriously affected by TS Erika one year ago.
They suffered loss of their homes and personal belongings. After they suffered such loss, they resided at the Grand Bay Center for some time, Before moving into their new homes.
As a result, the Leo Club saw it fit to bring some cheer to these to families during the Christmas season.The Hamper contained toiletries and grocery items, along with a ham. The families were very elated to have received the Christmas cheer brought about by the Leo Club of Dominica.
In Closing of the visit/Donation, Secretary of the Club – Leo Mahailia Alexander addressed the family along with the President of DOMSATT – Ms. Lisana Dyer (DOMSATT is one of our sponsors for 3 activities of which 2 have been successfully achieved; Christmas party at Coulibistrie Pre-school and donation of 2 hampers to Erika affected families). Another activity will take place in the coming year.
The Leo Club of Dominica wishes to extend a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both families and and we are proud to have made a significant and well needed impact during their Christmas season.
Congratulations LEO Club of Dominica for acting in the true spirit of the season.
Nothing reflects the significance of the holiday like sharing and giving to brighten the day for an individual or a family.
Christmas is all about giving. It was one incredible act of giving that started it all. For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
It was in Bethleham God gave his Son. But at Calvary Jesus gave himself a sacrifice – the bread of life – to be broken on the altar of love where he was crucified under the dreadful guilt of our sins. It was there he paid the price in full for our salvation. We only need to receive it by faith.
That whosoever BELIEVETH on him should not perish but have everlasting life
We honor him…
We celebrate him …
by GIVING
But have you received HIS gift to YOU
Please read John 1:12 .
Sincerely, Rev. Donald…
