Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, on Tuesday officially declared open the refurbished Sophia Kitchen. The refurbishment cost $30 million and the facility now features a state-of-the-art kitchen and recreational area conducive to learning for the children.

Delivering remarks at the opening the minister said she taught this was a “very good way of giving those children who are in State care an environment where they can bond, where they can enjoy a meal in a good atmosphere and where those persons who prepare their meals with love and care could have a safe environment where they can prepare meals in comfort.”

“It was very needed because the conditions we were working under wasn’t workable so we are very grateful for this upgrade from the Ministry of Human Services…this is very good for us, we are very happy to have this facility…we were trying to do our best with the conditions we were working in because we got to cook for the children, we try our best to work out the situation and it will obviously be better because it is better working facility, better working conditions, more space and everything,” she said.

After the opening the children baked cookies and made cupcakes with the new equipment at the facility and participated in making Christmas

One of the teens in the home was overjoyed to be baking cookies. She stated that she was happy to feel the love from Minister Persaud and the ministry at this time of the year.
