In their continued efforts to give back to District Three, Former Speaker of House of Assembly Mr Julian Willock and Kishma P. Forbes of the Virgin Islands School and Office Supplies team up again to make a contribution.

This time they donated over a thousand dollars ($1000.00) worth of items to the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School in Sea Cows Bay,  which included some power fans, a Glue Gun with Glue Sticks, a Laminating Machine and a variety of snacks.

Mr. Willock noted that “Government cannot do everything” so he and Mrs. Forbes decided to partner with the private sector to make the donation possible.  The three sponsors are Smith Gore- BVI Real Estate, Skelton Group of Companies and Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina.  Both Mr. Willock and Ms. Forbes are alumni of the school.

Mr. Willock also acknowledged others in the community  who continue to make donations to the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School (ETPS) including the 3rd District Representative,  Hon. Julian Fraser RA.

Speaking at the event was  Ms. Sandra L. Grisham, the Director of Business Development for Scrub Island,  who noted how happy her company was to partner on this project and asked students to stay focused, as their education is important.  She noted that she was impressed with the student assembly and could see “one of the students taking my job soon.”

Principal of the ETPS Ms. Ashkisha N.  Maduro noted that she was “excited about the partnership" and thanked "Mr. Willock and Ms. Forbes as well as the corporate partners for the support of my school".

At the end of August, both Mr Willock and Ms Forbes also teamed up for a back-to-school giveaway in district three which saw some 130 plus students benefit.
