Minister of State Dawn Hastings-Williams yesterday commissioned the $1,069,000 Lynette Stephens Resource Centre in Mahdia, Region Eight.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of the Presidency, the Centre was named to honour the contributions made by Stephens, a head teacher of the Mahdia Secondary School.
The commissioning ceremony was hosted in the compound of the school dormitory.
Minister Hastings-Williams, who gave the feature address at the commissioning ceremony, commended the Ministry of the Presidency’s Department of Social Cohesion and the residents who spearheaded the idea to honour Stephens and, through consultations, conceptualised the project and worked together to make the centre a reality.
