\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

St. John\u2019s, Antigua- Monday 26th<\/sup> February 2024: <\/strong>The Rotary Club of Antigua in collaboration with the Bellevue Breakfast Club and the Rotary Club of Kirkland Downtown launched its 11th<\/sup> Sewing Centre in Parham on Monday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The facility is being housed in the former constituency branch office utilized by the caretaker for the St. Peter\u2019s Constituency, Mr. Rawdon Turner.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project Coordinator, Past President of the Rotary Club of Antigua, Cordell Josiah MBE, explained that he is very happy that the project has finally been initiated in Parham after several attempts over the years. He added that the joint effort continues to provide a unique opportunity for participants to develop a skill that has the potential to make them marketable and profitable.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

President of the Rotary Club of Antigua, Michael Spencer, added that the Club is encouraged by the presence of yet another sewing facility, which will provide a platform for both men and women to develop a useful skill. He extended thanks to Mr. Rawdon Turmer for embracing the programme and the possibilities involved for community development.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

International Coordinator, Past President Jan Martinka, expressed that it is always a joyous occasion for partnership with the Rotary Cub of Antigua on another project. She encouraged the residents of Parham and surrounding areas to visit the centre and take advantage of the chance \u201cto learn something new\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sixteen (16) year partnership between the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (BBRC) of Washington State District 5030; started in 2008, after two years of planning between Past District Governor Steve Lingenbrink and Past President John Martinka of the BBRC and Past President Cordel Josiah MBE of the Rotary Club of Antigua (RCA) in 2006.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Community Member and Caretaker for the St. Peter\u2019s Constituency, Mr. Rawdon Turner, welcomes the opening of the centre, indicating that the community is in need of an empowerment initiative that will teach the skill of sewing promoting self-sufficiency.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over six hundred (600) persons have been trained to sew over the years through the Rotary Sewing Project.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ms Sheralyn Debbie Black will facilitate the courses, which will take place at the centre on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm -7pm.<\/p>\n
