Care packages have been presented to 200 families in St Catherine by the Poverty Alleviation and Empowerment Foundation (PAEF) at a cost of $300,000. Executive Director of the foundation, Pauline Gregory Lewis, said they provided assistance to the families because of the challenges children were facing as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
