After struggling for a long time with the reality of living in a rotten wooden house, Barbara Denton is now smiling brightly since receiving the gift of a newly renovated one-bedroom home in Clifton, Bernard Lodge, in St Catherine. Thanks to the Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Denton’s old home is now a joy to behold.
The organisation hosted its third staging of Operation Save A Youth project (OSAY) on Sunday in the parish, which saw thousands of young men and women affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church wanting to play their part in giving back to society.
This year, Denton’s home was OSAY’s special project and the senior citizen was very happy and grateful to God and the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
“They are renovating the house because it was rottening out. I only have one bedroom, and lizards and all those things live in it. The windows and doors are not good anymore,” she told The Gleaner.
