Community Service in
Action
The Lyford Cay Scholars selected Unity House (a home for elderly
citizens) as their community service project for 2001. They
began the project last March by presenting gifts of grocery
items and much-needed supplies to residents. The scholars paid
for the gifts with donations and funds from the Scholars’
Association account.

The Gifts and Grants Committee of the Lyford Cay Foundation
Inc., generously made a grant towards the expenses of plumbing
work and painting at Unity House. The scholars dedicated two
Saturdays – April 28 and June 23 – to paint and assist
in cleaning the grounds of Unity House. Laura Knowles-Stuart
and Kevin Sweeting spearheaded the event.
On December 8, scholars presented the seniors with linen items,
which were greatly needed.

The year at Unity
House allowed scholars to make a valuable contribution to
an organization that has given to many. It was also a genuine
opportunity to interact with the elderly and with each other.
A special thank you to all who contributed to making this
project a huge success. See story page 3. |
