In February when Laing Avenue resident Florence Rowe resigned from her job after 15 years, she was unsure of her next move but she knew she wanted to assist children, especially those in Grade Six, to reach their full potential.

Her doors were already open to them as since COVID-19 restrictions she had been working with some of them online but she felt she could do more. A firm believer in God, Rowe, who quickly noted many may not understand, said she believed she answered God’s calling to give more to children.
