    Social Justice live and well in Newfoundland & Labrador

    PSAC Regional Representative - Fraser Hiscock presents Brother Dennis Sheppard - UNDE Local 90102 with $1000.00 for Street Kids Feeding Program - Malawi.

    This picture depicts Sister Ivy Andrews presenting Andrina Mchiela , Principal Secretary for the Ministry of Gender - Child Welfare & Community Services and Secretary for Women and Child Development, the donation from the PSAC Social Justice Fund. The $1000.00 cdn donation has been converted to Malawi Kwatcha.

    Sister Ivy Andrews was a member of Newfoundland and Labrador

    Association of Public and Private Employees (NAPE). Her husband was a member of the teamsters Union. They both took leaves of absence to carry out humanitarian aid work in Africa. They have both since resigned their permanent positions, sold everything they owned in NL and have decided to remain in Africa to carry out humanitarian work.

    The Street Kids feeding program originally started out as a

    feeding and registration program. This generous donation by the PSAC Social Justice Fund will enable the program to start a skills training program in such things as carpentry, tinsmith, mechanics, tailoring, crafts etc.  The skills training program will enable the children to Become self sufficient. The extent of the training will of course depend on future funding.

    ST. JOHN’S REGIONAL WOMEN’S COMMITTEE

    AND THE SCHOOL LUNCH ASSOCIATION

    The St. John’s Regional Women’s Committee made a contribution of $300.00 to the School Lunch Association in St. John’s.  In a letter from Executive Director – Gerry Colbert – he thanks the RWC for its generous contribution and advises the program presently services approximately 1,600 students and will provide an average of 6,000 meals per week.

    He states:

    “I truly appreciate knowing that my child is being provided with a nutritious meal.  Please know what you do and what you contribute is valuable to a child’s ability to learn and grow.  It is truly appreciated.”

    This program has been effect for 17 years and without the support of like minded groups and the community, it would not be able to continue.

    Congratulations to the St. John’s Regional Women’s Committee or their commitment to community involvement.
