ROSE HILL, Mauritius — School children on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius have new school bags thanks to members of the Church here. In a project that lasted for several months, some 250 bags were made by members under the direction of Elder D. Kim Black and Sister Janita Black, humanitarian missionaries serving the Madagascar Antananarivo Mission. In December, the bags were donated to children in Rose Hill, le Morne and Flaq.
"The bags were presented in quite a festive atmosphere," Grant Caine, a member on Mauritius, wrote the Church News. "The children enjoyed singing some songs. Food was also provided for the children as well as entertainment when two of the younger members did a clown show."
Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Islands along with Reunion Island and Rodrigues. There are more than 300 members in two branches.
