The Barbados Association of Muslim Ladies (BAML) and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Barbados are partnering in an initiative to assist the Ministry of Education to execute its school nutrition policy.The two organisations have been donating water coolers to schools across the island and, to date, 13 have received the receptacles.During a handing over ceremony on Wednesday at the St Martin’s-Mangrove Primary School, the latest beneficiary of the initiative, BAML youth ambassador Haania Bulbulia said her organisation has been facilitating the programme by way of sponsorship and fundraising activities.“Over the years, our association has, on behalf of the Muslim community, endeavoured to assist tangibly in areas that benefit a wide cross-section of Barbadians. This time we continue in these efforts to assist schools with having access to clean drinking water,” she said.
