Carnival Fascination donates toys and clothes to the GB Children's Home:
Calling into Freeport on Friday, May 20, 2011, Carnival Fascination not only brought hundreds of cruise passengers to the island but also brought boxes of toys and clothes for the Grand Bahama Children's Home. "We visit here every two weeks and we thought it would be great to donate these goods to the Home in Freeport," said Zanet Zic of Carnival Fascination Cruise line.
Vernita Rolle, of Inchcape, handles cruise logistics for Carnival Fascination and helped coordinate the donation for the Home. Zic noted that Carnival Fascination hopes to do more for the Children’s Home and, after the presentation, cruise representatives toured the facilities and met with the 35 children currently residing at the Home.
The group who happily received the very generous donation of toys and clothes for the children outside the Home administration building. “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support and donations we receive not only from our community but from those visiting – including the wonderful folks of Carnival Fascination,” said Jean Hivert, GBCH Executive Committee. “It means so much that in the midst of their busy operations and limited time on the island, the crew of Carnival Fascination took the time to think of our children and helps us at a time when the Home’s numbers have increased and all assistance is needed and more appreciated than ever!” (Photo courtesy of Barefoot Marketing)
