BACK TO SCHOOL has been made a lot easier for many parents across the island, thanks the the Eden Lodge Youth Charitable Trust.

As has been the case for several years, the Trust in association with Cloister Bookstore and several other sponsors, presented books, backpacks, games bags and other necessary supplies to parents and some of the primary school children who will benefit this morning.

The presentation was made at the popular Hincks, Street, The City bookstore.

The estimated cost of funding the book programme for both primary and secondary schools is $30 000. The smiles on the faces of both parents and children spoke to their heartfelt gratitude. (YB)
