Vaccination will continue at the various vaccination sites and wellness centres across the island, alongside the mobile vaccination drive in communities. In the coming weeks, vaccines will also become available at selected private sector health facilities. As of Monday, August 23, 2021, the Pfizer vaccine will be available at the vaccination sites for persons 12 years and older. Parents or guardians should accompany children under 18 years. Assistant Principal Nursing Officer Tecla Shabbatist says, vaccinating children will protect them from COVID-19 infection, particularly the Delta variant, which is known to cause serious infection in young people. The schedule for the vaccination sites are as follows. Grossly Human Resource Centre, Mondays and Fridays. The VG Sports Complex, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Bainfield Secondary School, until Thursday, August 26, 2021, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Suffer hospital grounds Mondays and Fridays. Dennery Mothers Preschool, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Jackmill Wellness Centre on Fridays and the People Discounts Pharmacy. On Tuesdays, on Victoria Street and Thursdays on St. Louis Street. Nurse Shabbatist says until widespread vaccination has been achieved, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, people need to be aware that the additional protective behaviors are required to control the pandemic. In other developments, the children of the Foasio community enrolled in the after-school program now have a new agricultural program to look forward to after receiving an in-kind donation from Mr. Ira Duvay for the use of a plot of land directly behind the community centre to commence a CASP backyard kitchen garden. The children from the Foasio community enrolled in the community after-school program CASP will now have a new agricultural elective to look forward to after receiving an in-kind donation from Mr. Ira Duvay from the Foasio community centre to commence a CASP backyard kitchen garden. The program was also gifted with a check of EC $3,500 from Sanders Foundation and EC $500 from the St. Lucia National Lottery for the plot preparation. The ceremony was held on Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at the Foasio Community Centre, Social Transformation Officer and backyard kitchen garden coordinator, Mrs. Fidora Alcindor. The green space component of the project arose from the realisation that children in the community have no outdoor space to learn, develop and play. Having the space where they can just step out of their home and go into this green space, we know the impact just being in the outdoors how beneficial it is for your mental health. So creating this avenue where the children can have the space to go out and to engage not only in play but in cultivating crops and seeing that crop germinate from a seed to an actual fruit and to be able to eat and provide for their homes because it's going to be a kitchen garden. So we're hoping that the produce that they will get from the garden it would go to helping to reduce the expenses in terms of what they buy in the market. Sanders Manager stated that the creation of this backyard kitchen garden project will strengthen community pride, foster a deeper sense of community spirit and provide a safe space for the children of the community to play and develop relevant skills in sustainable gardening. We identify with your objectives for these initiatives and as you say, these project promises to positively impact the community in several ways, namely encouraging community pride and fostering a deeper sense of community spirit and providing very importantly safe space for children of the community to play and grow. If this means that they will no longer use the main road as their playground while also developing relevant skills in sustainable gardening then we're happy to provide support and to move along with you. For the children of four and two, the hospital road served as a playground but now the green space will offer an alternative space for farming activities which would keep them away from the busy hospital road. The managing director has also pledged his support for the implementation of community after-school program backyard kitchen gardens in Marsha, Wilton's Yard and Chase Gardens. I believe from what I've just heard that you're also working in a number of other communities including Wilton Yard and others. I would like to share with you this morning that I'm pleased to hear that because these communities are very dear to our hearts because it brings us closer to children and we believe strongly that if we can give one child the opportunity for a better life that one child will be safe. I also understand that you're planning to work in Marsha Chase Garden this year. So first I want to wish you success with these projects and by extension I want to extend our full support also. Deputy Director in the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice and People's Empowerment Mr. Jim Zavye welcomed this initiative. I'm extremely delighted because this is a demonstration of what community, the ministry and the private sector can do to elevate a community. So we are happy that Sanders has come on board and the project is going to be launched tomorrow actually and so we could have the green space and then they could start planting the items and taking care of it and getting that sort of social cohesion and community togetherness that is important for a project of that nature. Well the ministry has a broad mandate. One of it is to work with vulnerable communities to help them to improve the standard of living and the level of confidence and social being and this project speaks to a number of the mandates in terms of eradication of poverty, empowering people getting persons involved in their development and decisions affecting them so this is an excellent project. Through the Ministry of Agriculture, the region will obtain watermelons, tomatoes, honeydew and let you seedlens.
