JVD Primary School gets facelift & refurbished picnic tables
Along with a few student volunteers, the group spent the day by assisting with repainting the exterior walls and several rooms at the school and also refurbishing several picnic tables previously donated to the institution.
Recognising that there may not be as much resources available for schools located in Jost Van Dyke, Managing Director at CIL, Mr Brian Jermyn related, “we’ve seen the state of the school and we have a good relationship with the principal and when we found out the school needed some TLC, tender loving care… we decided it was a good time to help and asked a few of our staff members to attend.”
Although the company is not considered the school’s official adopt-a-school sponsor, Mr Jermyn said he felt the company was just trying to see what it could do to assist. “We’re just happy to help out,” he emphasised.
He noted that the company has managed to make other donations over the last few years to the school, including filing cabinets and several refurbished computers.
Meanwhile, Principal Marva Martin commented that the exercise was a very important one and noted that it was a good move by the company. “I’m always appreciative and grateful of donations from Caribbean Insurers Ltd especially because we have developed this partnership and their contributions are always welcomed,” she added.
Insurance Underwriting Supervisor at CIL, Ms Ruth EQ Phillips, said the cost of the exercise was immaterial to the company and the most important thing was getting the job done. “Whatever their needs are, we get it and supply it…. We give a professional first class service.”
Phillips noted that the company would continue its efforts at strengthening their relationship with the school.
