“It is not in every case that you invite people for an event and they show up, so l was really happy for such a response.
“At the launch, we were selling some foodstuffs to guests with the funds being transferred to Emerald Hill School.”
The founder and main sponsor of the Miss Mt Pleasant constituency legislator, Jason Passade, pledged $1 000 towards a poultry project at the school.
