The Rotary Club of Southeast New Providence made a much-needed donation yesterday in the amount of $3,000 to the All Saints Camp, for the purchase of a new industrial stove.
"One of the things the Rotary does is we look into the community to see what the needs are, and we came here and identified a need, and we satisfied that need," said Rotary Club President Reginald Saunders during a press conference at the camp off Carmichael Road.
"It is always a pleasure when we can do something that will truly, truly benefit the community in which we serve."
The All Saints AIDS camp, which was started by the late Reverend Glenroy Nottage, cares for dozens of people afflicted with HIV/AIDS.  Although many of the residents are bedridden, they are made to feel at home at the camp, according to supervisor and head chef at All Saints, Theresa Glinton.
"We are very, very thankful [as] we had to fight to get one part of the old stove to work in order to do our Christmas dinner," Glinton said.
"When I got the call by Mr. Duff to say we were getting a new stove, I could not stop praying and thanking God."
Diana Ingraham, administrator of All Saints, said the donation means a great deal and will make a significant contribution to the welfare of the nearly 60 residents.
Tim Duff, chairman of the Rotary's community service arm, noted that the Rotary was committed to raising funds for the camp, and will continue its efforts with the camp and in the community.
