The Bridgetown Port Taxi Co-op Society and the Ministry of Elder Affairs and People Empowerment continue to partner with the private sector to make a difference in the lives of children living at two of the Child Care Board residential centres.Fifty children from the Nightingale Children’s Village and Marina Brewster Centre at Farrs recently enjoyed a day at the races at the Garrison Savannah, St Michael.Chief executive officer of the Barbados Turf Club, Rosette Peirce, said the children got the opportunity to view the races from the sponsors lounge, which overlooks the famous paddock bend and as special guests, they “were treated to full hospitality-food, drinks and ice cream”.Peirce said the children also got to meet some influential people in the horseracing industry and champion jockey and leading apprentice rider Teshawn Hazlewood.She said she was pleased to be part of the initiative when approached with the idea and it was an emotional experience for her.
