Elderly, children benefiting from iProvide

On October 30, students from the University of the Southern Caribbean iProvide Ministries, travelled to four nursing homes across Barbados on a food and toiletries drive. These four nursing homes, Body Matters Inc, Homestead Barbados, Fay Dawn Nursing Home and Hallel Senior Citizens Home were all chosen at random.

“We did this project because we wanted to make a change and a difference in their lives, and this was the perfect opportunity to show appreciation to all our seniors.

Those who have sacrificed so much for their family and those who may feel underappreciated. We at iProvide Ministries appreciate all that they have done,” Kahlan Roach, leader of the iProvide Ministries, explained.

He added: “This iProvide Ministries was established at our Barbados Campus in August 2021 and it mirrors the same ministry executed at our main campus in Trinidad. Our goal is to use our resources for projects that bring about socio-economic change as well as spiritual change.

“The members of my team are Adriel Hoyte, Sophia Price, Laurena Jacob and Marissa Waldron. Our Campus coordinator, Shernelle Fullerton, also assists our team for various projects.

We have now completed our first project for this quarter.

“The seniors and the staff were so happy, and it made my team and I very happy also. We were blessed to be a blessing to them,” Roach said.

He revealed that the next project for this quarter would be a toy drive for four different children’s homes on the island.

“This project will be our biggest to date as we hope to include carolling and prayers on behalf of the children at these homes.

This project will also include the ipraise and ipray ministries,” he said. Persons who would like to donate to the toy drive in any way possible can contact Roach at (246) 848-3008.
