St. Philip South DEO Receives Donation

The Officers and members of the St. Philip South District Emergency Organisation are now closer to their goal of purchasing a much needed computer and multimedia projector.

Help has come from the team at Barbados Public Workers Co-operative Credit Union Six Roads Branch. The Credit Union has been operating in the Emerald City Supermarket complex since May of this year and has already become a welcome and productive member of the St. Philip South community.

St. Philip South D.E.O. member Henderson Linton expressed his gratitude to the credit union team at Six Roads saying, "We needed help to purchase the much needed equipment and we are blessed to have received this assistance."

The computer will be used mostly for data collection and the multimedia projector will be used as a teaching aid for community education and outreach.

There was also a call for residents of the community to get involved in the work of the D.E.O. not only during the huricane season but throughout the year.
