STUDENTS of Laurens Central School in Laurens, New York found time to assist Bahamian children while cruising through the Bahamas on their senior class trip.
The graduating class of the secondary unit of the school visited Nassau and Grand Bahama aboard Carnival’s Splendor.
In Nassau, the group enjoyed shopping and a trip to the beach but in Grand Bahama, they spread some spring cheer at the Grand Bahama Children’s Home.
Accompanied by parents, teachers and school board representatives, the students delivered toys, clothing, books, grooming tools and other items to residents of the home.
School Superintendent Romona Wenck said the students were happy to donate suitcases filled with the items.
Staff from the Ministry of Tourism, along with Bonnie Rolle, the ministry’s senior manager of the Schools Unit, welcomed the group to Nassau.
“We love to warmly welcome our guests whenever we have the opportunity but it is a special pleasure when we know that those guests are also showing such concern for some of our citizens,” Ms Rolle said.
On behalf of Minister of Tourism Obie Wilchcombe, Ms Rolle presented the group with a certificate to commemorate their visit to islands of the Bahamas.
