Claudette Willock, a resident of Parham, has finally moved into her newly reconstructed home, marking a significant milestone nearly two years after a devastating fire destroyed her residence in January 2023. The reconstruction was made possible through the HAPI Programme, a collaborative effort between the Social Protection Board and the Ministry of Social and Urban Development. St Peter MP Rawdon Turner, who had pledged support following the tragedy, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s completion, highlighting it as a testament to effective government partnership and community representation. Willock, overwhelmed with gratitude, described the moment as ‘a blessing and a promise kept.’ To commemorate the occasion, a breadfruit tree was planted in her yard, symbolizing renewal and the strength of the community. This heartwarming story underscores the power of collective action and resilience in the face of adversity.
