On Friday and Saturday, March 14, Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa were deployed to effect critical repairs and general upgrade works to the St Jude Pre School which is located in Beannefield, Vieux Fort.
This project was undertaken as part of the Hotel’s ongoing community outreach and support efforts and in response to an identified need. This philanthropic gesture by Coconut Bay in the form of repair works amounted to a significant upgrade of the school’s infrastructure and the quality of services it now offers its clientele. During the two day period, the following improvements/repairs were effected:
- Removal, replacement and retiling of rotted sink cupboard and surface.
- Repainting of all cupboards and walls in school kitchen.
- Removal and replacement of defective toilet unit within bathroom.
- Replacement of all broken tiles on floors.
- Replacement of several sheets of rotted plywood siding panels on back side of building.
- Replacement of four (4) aluminum louvered windows at the front entrance of building.
- Replacement of entrance door lock and servicing of other locks where needed.
School Administrator Ms. Herbecia Jn Pierre expressed elation and gratitude for the assistance granted to the institution by Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa. She explained that some of the works undertaken were as a result of the combined impact of Hurricane Tomas and the more recent Christmas Eve Trough. Ms. Jn Pierre is convinced that Coconut Bay’s assistance is “an answer to prayers” for help.
The school’s Administrator noted: “through this kind corporate gesture, Coconut Bay has improved the learning experience for current and future groups of our nation’s children. We are indeed extremely thankful on their behalf.”
The school has an enrollment of fifty six (56) Pre Schoolers within the age range of 3 to 5 years. The assistance by Coconut Bay Beach resort & Spa to the St Jude Pre School is a further demonstration of the Hotel’s commitment of “taking care of the south” and its current focus of working with and supporting the education sector.
