Anguilla’s Sunset Homes 8th Annual Fun Day!

Sunset Homes 8^th Annual Fun Day for The Stoney Ground/Caul’s Bottom Community

The children of the Stoney Ground, Caul’s Bottom and The Quarter area were treated to a day of fun and friendly sporting competition on Saturday August 28^th 2010.  Sunset Homes, a Property Development firm in Anguilla sponsored its seventh annual event of this kind on its office grounds located in Stoney Ground. Races for each age category included sack races, lime and spoon race, flat races, relays, tug-of-war and more.

This event comes out of an active cooperation within the community, reminiscent of traditional communal activities, where villagers come together to work on select projects. Members of the community in the area prepare for this event. The event aims to encourage community spirit and to provide a stimulating, productive activity for the children where they can win educational prizes just in time for the re-opening of school. All children in attendance (numbering about 100) received back to school items and goodie bags, outstanding athletes received special prizes.Rechelle Meade aged 13 years, a student of ALHCS competing in the 12 – 16 category captured the title of Valedictorian (Female) and Cadeem Rogers 7 years, a student of Orealia Kelly Primary ran away with the Valedictorian (Male) spot.Appreciation goes out to all the persons who gave so generously of their time and resources including: The Royal Anguilla Police Force, Sports Director Alfred “Allie” Douglas, Chief Coordinators Joan Johnson and Alma Gumbs and members of the Sunset Homes Staff. Special mention must be made of the very generous donation made by Joseph Williams (Joe B) and Kathareen Rogers who year after year send a wonderful array of special educational gifts and supplies for the children.  These two persons are Anguillians living in the US who continue to contribute back to the children of this community through various programs and events.
