The Friends of the Care Project, a local charity organization which operates a special care programme at the Old Holberton Hospital, has presented a motorized wheel chair to one of the residents of the facility.
Governor General, Sir Rodney Williams along with Lady Williams with special guests, Gary Randall and Kay Greveson, gathered at the Blue Waters Resort & Spa to celebrate a special occasion — the official presentation of a motorized wheelchair to Aiden Park, an 11-year old resident of the Friends of the Care Project.
Aiden, a bright and resilient young boy, lives with a rare condition that affects his ability to walk and presents various health challenges. Despite these obstacles, his warm smile, keen intelligence, and unwavering spirit continue to inspire everyone he meets. Having had to drag himself around on the ground by the seat of his pants for his entire life, Aiden was extremely excited and emotionally overwhelmed to receive the gift of the wheelchair.
During the brief handover ceremony, Lady Williams expressed her deep appreciation for the opportunity to engage in yet another act of kindness. She emphasized that such gestures embody the core values of the Halo Foundation’s mission: to uplift spirits, foster hope, and bring comfort to those who most need love and encouragement. “Supporting such initiatives is at the heart of our work,” she remarked. “We are truly grateful to Gary Randall and Kay Greveson for their generous support and genuine concern for the well-being of our eager recipient.”
The Halo Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to collaborating with 39 charities under the patronage of the Governor General, including the Friends of the Care Project. The organization aims to improve the lives of vulnerable individuals and groups through acts of compassion and meaningful intervention.
Sir Rodney remarked, “This useful and invaluable gift not only enhances Aiden’s mobility but also opens new horizons of independence and joy, embodying the spirit of community, care, and hope that unites us all.”
