Let’s get our health checked!

STUDENTS at John Anglin Basic School in Warsop, Trelawny; Bermaddy Basic School in Linstead, St Catherine; and Charles Town Basic School in Charles Town, Portland were excited to have their vision, hearing and oxygen saturation levels screened recently as the Sagicor Foundation conducted a health tour of the three schools under its Adopt-A-School programme for 2022.

Each student had the opportunity to hop onto the exciting Sagicor Wellness bus, on which friendly nurses guided them through a series of fun and interactive check-ups. Representatives from Sagicor Life, Bank and Investments branches in the various parishes also visited the schools and presented the energetic students with goody bags on behalf of the Sagicor Foundation. Here some of the fun moments.
