When Téanja Donovan signed up to do her community service hours at the Adina Donovan Home for the Elderly, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She needn’t have been nervous, however.

 

“They were really welcoming,” the fourth form Elmore Stoutt High School student said last week. She added that since some of the home’s residents don’t have many relatives, visitors are “practically like their family. They like to see you there.”

Like hundreds of other public high school students in the territory, Ms. Donovan is working on completing 120 hours of community service before she graduates next year under the new Citizen Service Programme.
