Three hundred and sixty hampers were distributed to families in Windsor Forest, La Jalousie and Ruimzeight last weekend. Two teams worked tirelessly to ensure all the hampers were distributed in a timely manner.
The Windsor Forest-New York Association was established over 20 years ago by a group of villagers from Nouvelle Flanders-La Jalousie Village district, living in New York. The Association is a not-for-profit organisation registered in the state of New York.
It has made significant contributions towards the communities, especially the Windsor Forest Primary School, donating a home economics facility, roofs for the bleachers, a swing set and slide, toilet facilities just to name a few. The Association also provided monetary gifts to top-performing students in the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA), and started a food hamper drive for villagers a few years back.
The organisation will continue to work throughout the year to carry out other planned projects.
