For St Ann poultry farmer Marcia Bygrave, collecting 50 broiler chicks at the Port Rhoades Sports Club recently was more than the start of another rearing cycle – it was the beginning of a new chapter.

Bygrave said the support has given her renewed purpose and a realistic opportunity to earn an income.

“I am so elated. I used to raise chicken but, you know, I’m not working, so this is like you give me a start and it’s the first time I have gotten something from somebody. So, I’m so happy,” she told JIS News.
