Rotary Club of Antigua recognizes the contributions of the Victory Centre and the Dyslexia Centre with monetary donation toward their efforts

In keeping with President Michael Spencer’s focus on disability during this
Rotary year, the Rotary Club of Antigua recently made financial donations to
the Victory Centre and the Dyslexia Centre to support their ongoing roles in
social and educational development.

The brief presentation ceremony took place at Rotary House in the presence
of Rotarians and representatives from the respective organizations, which
each received a cheque for $5,000.

“Both centres play an invaluable role in our community,” Spencer said. “They
offer a sense of belonging, provide essential services, and create opportunities
for personal and social development.

“As we know, individuals with disabilities face unique challenges that require
tailored support and resources. These challenges can range from accessibility

issues to the need for specialized equipment, programs, and activities that
cater to diverse needs,” he added.

Noting that Rotary is at the forefront of addressing such challenges and
creating environments where everyone can thrive, regardless of their abilities,
Spencer said “the Club’s financial assistance is more than just a contribution.”

Rather, the club president said, it “represents the beginning of a fruitful
partnership. It is a recognition of the incredible work these centres do daily. It
is a testament to our belief in the potential of every individual, and it is a
promise to stand by those who work tirelessly to make our community more
inclusive.”

Ingrid Simon and Dr. Russell from the Dyslexia Centre, along with Shena
Smith, a teacher at the Victory Center, accepted and thanked the Rotary Club
for the timely donations.
