WATCH: Five Islands to Benefit from New Playground
Thanks to the caretaker’s efforts for St John’s Rural West, Michael Joseph, young children in the community will soon enjoy a safe and engaging space for play.
Joseph, also a Junior Minister in the Ministry of Health, has successfully constructed a playground at Cooks, which has become a vital resource for families in the area.
In a recent interview with Pointe FM, Joseph expressed his commitment to enhancing recreational facilities for children. He revealed plans to expand these efforts by building a new Five Islands Playing Field playground.
