To ensure children of “displaced sugar workers” do not miss school because they have nothing to eat, a group of Berbicians who formed an organisation, Service to Humanity (StH) are continuing to provide them with meals.

The organisation, which is 11-months-old is based in Skeldon, Berbice and has so far provided some 12,000 meals to about 250 students.

Other needy children also benefit from the feeding programme that is conducted about thrice weekly by volunteers.
