Bingo + Community = Happy Children!

The Students, Teachers and Principal of Mary Robinson Primary School

Saturday Night Bingo at Porter's Island Thyme

resulted in a bunch of happy faces yesterday when the schools supplies purchased with the funds and donations raised during the games were delivered to the school.

Thanks to a number of island guests, just a few part-time residents and MANY, MANY Turks Islanders, Dominican, Haitian and St. Lucian residents of Salt Cay

the first $1000 raised from the weekly Bingo game allowed us to donate reading books,

electronic Leap Frog learning materials, printer ink, a case of copy paper, art supplies and

individual pouches of markers, crayons, scissors, pencils and glue for each of our 12 students. 

If you happened to be walking by the Mary Robinson Primary School yesterday, you may have heard the cheers and shouts as the children saw each item emerge! 

We have already raised another $1000 and the next delivery will include computers and printers for the school.

Here's one big THANK YOU from the children, the principal and teachers

and all of us at Porter's Island Thyme...

for helping us help our own island children!

It's fun, it's easy to play, takes just an hour, only costs a $1 and it's

 B-I-N-G-O

on Saturday night starting at 8:00 PM.
