Twenty-six schools and organizations were better equipped to improve the literacy efforts in Dominica through donations of schools supplies and reading material by Hands Across the Seas through the Dominica Lions Club.
A number of preschools and secondary schools including CALLS, DYBT and education officials, among others, received supplies ranging from musical instruments, electrical supplies, photocopier, educational materials and books in what has become an annual partnership between the Lions Club and Hands Across the Seas, a charitable organization led by Harriett and TL Linskey of the US.
The Lions Club and the various Peace Corps Volunteers on the island identify the school, which provide wish lists of items required to assist in the every day delivery of lessons to students of those institutions. These lists are prepared and presented at least six months in advance to give the donors ample time to source the materials from business, organizations and individuals in the US through their site: www.handsacrossthesea.net/HandsWishLists.htm
The Lions Club would like to commend the efforts of Hands Across the Seas and their donors for the efforts which they put towards ensuring that all possible is done in assisting the literacy efforts on islands and to the schools for taking up the challenge and partnering with the Lions, Peace Corps Volunteers and Hands Across the Seas.
The schools, on their part, were enthusiastic about receiving their supplies and assured the partners that all efforts would be made and to put them to best use.
