The Pringle Home for Children celebrated this Labour Day weekend with the opening of their newly renovated kitchen. Upgrades to the facility were provided by the Digicel Foundation and its volunteers over the last two weeks, with a final coat of paint signalling the completion of the project on Friday. The facility, which is run by the Child Protection and Family Services Agency, was at risk of closure as the outdated kitchen did not meet the necessary standards for licensing. However, after a visit to donate Christmas dinner in December, members of the Digicel team reached out to the home to see how the foundation could assist. Not only did they outfit the kitchen with new cabinetry, they also gave it a much-needed paint job.
