... Serious about commitment to develop community

THE MULLET Hall Achievement Group kicked off their development initiative with their first fundraiser last December as they accumulate funds to construct a community centre. This will facilitate homework, skills training, sports development and a play area for the children to develop their physical, emotional and cognitive strength.

The proceeds from the event, in addition to going towards the centre, will also help to fund other charitable activities for the community such as back to school drive, assisting the needy with medication, and sporting gears for the youth as well as funeral grant, Powis disclosed. Nardalee Powis is thankful for the support of overseas group members who continue to give back to their community.

While the main focus is the community centre, Powis said there are other urgent needs that faces Mullet Hall including the deplorable conditions of the roads, no phone lines or Internet connection, badly damaged pipelines and residents having to purchase drinking water while using the river as their bathrooms.

Now a registered charitable entity, she said the group took that route to show that they are serious about their mission to transform the community.

With the long road ahead to the dream, Powis is reaching out to stakeholders to buy into the vision by helping them to achieve their goals.

“We hope other stakeholders will share in our mission and come on board to make this dream a reality,” she said.
