With the new school year three weeks away, the Social Empowerment Agency has received more than 2 900 requests for back-to-school assistance, SEA executive director Colleen Walcott has told Barbados TODAY.
She said July to mid-September is usually the busiest time for the agency, as it works to ensure children return to school with the necessary support.
“So for the next two months our focus really, along with all the other services that we are giving, the focus really is on educational assistance and getting children back out to school and getting the assistance timely.”
