First Lady Sandra Granger on Sunday attended a luncheon for retired Head Teachers in celebration of World Teachers’ Day, which was observed on October 5.
A Ministry of the Presidency release said that the luncheon was a collaboration between Najab Trading and the Luminous Women’s Group. The release said that Mohammed Najab also announced that he will donate bed sheets to The Palms Geriatric Home to support the First Lady’s efforts there.
Najab said his motivation stems from the joy of giving and added that members of society should give back to those who have dedicated their service to the country. “Charity begins at home… You have served this country so hard [and] so dedicated; you’ve attained an age where society has to give back to you,” Najab said.
Meanwhile, Ingrid Fung, veteran educator and member of the Luminous Women’s group also voiced her gratitude at Najab’s assistance.
“They have gracefully accepted to host us this evening; for karaoke, games and we have a lovely feast [and] they have a gift for each individual and that is wonderful… The Najabs went to great lengths,” Fung said.
The Luminous Women’s Group has been in existence since April 2015, the release said, and this is their second year hosting a gathering for retired head teachers.
