Nassau, Bahamas -- In an act of extraordinary generosity for a small company, road marking firm Bahamas Striping donated 200 Christmas presents and pledged a further 100 to be given to under-privileged children through the Urban Renewal Commission.

 Acknowledging the donation and pledge, worth over $9,000 retail, was Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. Phillip "Brave" Davis, whose Ministry of Works & Urban Development oversees Urban Renewal 2.0. Urban Renewal Commission's Co-Chairpersons, Mother Cynthia Pratt and Algernon Allen, accepted the Christmas toys along with Police Superintendent Stephen Dean, Permanent Secretary for Urban Renewal Commission Diana Lightbourne and Urban Renewal Programs Director Gregory Butler.

DPM Davis said he found it wonderful that a small company such as Bahamas Striping which has not had three full years in business had "stepped up to the plate" to give such a large sacrifice back to the community. Algernon Allen commented that the gifts would bring much happiness and relief to hundreds of families who are in much need of Christmas cheer. 

 He said that there are many mothers and fathers out there who, in these hard times, aren't able to afford gifts for their children. This donation by Bahamas Striping with the further pledge of 100 gifts for Abaco, worth $9,000 in all, is a great example of Bahamians helping each other and a wonderful act of corporate generosity and civic responsibility.sibility.
