SERVOL Special Needs School, Sunshine Hill School, East Port of Spain is getting a facelift. The school is being repainted courtesy a grant from the Digicel Foundation and in-kind support from Kaleidoscope, the Port of Spain City Corporation, URP and other private well-wishers.

The collaborative effort began with teachers, parents and the Digicel team members volunteering to paint the indoor and outdoor exteriors and is being facilitated through the Digicel Foundation’s Extraordinary Projects Impacting Communities (EPIC) programme, which funds community initiatives.
