Scores of families benefit from back-to-school church initiative

More than 100 children and their families received assistance on Saturday as Prophetic Prayer Protocol Ministries International (PPPMI) hosted a back-to-school and wellness event to help families prepare for the new school term.

Co-pastor Prophetess Cheriann Marshall said the initiative went beyond school supplies, with organisers also providing health checks and personal hygiene items.

“Today we are giving back to over 100 children, school supplies, backpacks, stationery and essential school supplies. We’re also giving back school clothing, teenage hygiene packs for the teenage girls and also hygiene packs for the teenage boys,” she told Barbados TODAY, during the activity at Arjay Complex, Silver Hill, Christ Church.
