A single mother of seven from Sheet Anchor, East Canje Berbice, received a life-changing, new home on Saturday through His Excellency President Irfaan Ali’s Men on a Mission Initiative.
Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Zulfikar Mustapha handed over the new structure to the woman, Pearl Reynolds, 47, of Lot 65 Sheet Anchor Village, who had previously lived in a makeshift zinc house at the same location.
Now, she and her two children, aged 14 and 12 who resided at the location, will have a safe and comfortable place to call home.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Reynolds described the contractors who built the home as “angels”, and expressed that this new beginning will positively change the trajectory of her children’s lives.
Contractors Aubrey David of Quality Deliverers, Ameir Adams of A Adams Enterprise and Julius DeNobrega of Devon Engineering Services, came together to make the initiative possible.
Additionally, Ray Jahoor of Ashiek and Sons handed over a laptop and printer to the children.
