 <\/span>In <\/span>20<\/span>09, <\/span>Polio and children Charity in need<\/span> (previously known as Polio Children) was approached by the parish to purchase a 4-wheeler vehicle to replace the severely rundown truck that was used to transport children.  This vehicle is highly useful to the parish especially during the monsoon season when the entire grounds become inaccessible.  <\/span><\/p>\n
