A Labour Day partnership between the Sagicor Foundation and the Jill Stewart MoBay City Run charity has helped restore critical farming facilities at Maldon High School in upper St James, an institution still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Melissa.

A team of 25 volunteers journeyed into the rural community on Monday to rehabilitate the school’s poultry house and shade house, both of which suffered significant damage during the hurricane.

The project involved cleaning and painting, as well as assisting with repairs to sections of the poultry house roof, while community members worked alongside volunteers to replace damaged zinc sheeting.
