Turks and Caicos Islands Community College (Grand Turk) presents Food Chest to the Wellness Center, Grand Turk The President of the Grand Turk Campus of the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College (TCICC) Rev Julia Williams, along with the Student
Services Representative Ms Desire Adams, and the President and Vice President of the Student Guild, Denzel Penn and Adrian Williams, made a special visit to the Wellness Center at the old Grand Turk Hospital.
The Student Guild, as part of their community outreach initiatives for this semester, put on a food drive that began the latter part of November;
and last Wednesday, 8th December, a week ago today, those items were presented to the clients at the Wellness Center.
It was a heart warming experience remarked Denzel Penn, President of the Student Guild of the College. The caretakers do an amazing job of loving and supporting the clients, they must be amazing people to provide such selfless care added Adrian Williams, Vice-President of the Guild.
This project in particular was aimed at enlightening our students to the benefits of volunteer service. It is obvious that those in attendance
were touched to experience life at the Wellness Center and we plan to continue our work with the Center in the upcoming semester remarked
Desiree Adams, Student Services Representative at the College.
In addition to the food chest presentation, the students and Rev. Julia Williams, President of the College, shared Christmas carols and prayers
with the clients and caretakers who sang and danced, and enjoyed the beauty of the moment. It was wonderful to visit with our senior citizens
at the Wellness Center and to provide whatever assistance we can, particularly at this Christmas time, which is usually a time of sharing
gifts. My congratulations to the Caretakers at the Center who it is evident are doing a fantastic job caring for the clients. May they all
have a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year, said Mrs. Williams.
Special thanks have been extended to the President, faculty members and students of the TCICC, and members of the community who contributed to this very worthy cause including the staff at Cees Department Store.
