Darcy Antonia has begun a new community project

We've embarked upon a new and exciting project....... it's called after-school care! The name of our program, The Kathleen Phillips Activity center for Education (KPACE), launched at a local primary school in Nassau, The Ridgeland Primary school on March 15, 2010. This program targets and is beneficial to kids in the public school system from grades 1-6. We are there after school, from 3-5pm to offer homework assistance, interactive art, craft and science projects. The kids are taken out on field trips around town and enjoy guests who come in to visit with them to discuss numerous topics relevant to them.

We at darcy antonia fully believe in community service and realizes that in order to make our Country a better place, "community building" is everybody's business! Won't you join us?

Class is dismissed!

We've just completed our first session of our jewelry production and design class! How much fun was that!.....We had a great time and the students have gone away with a wealth of knowledge and expertise to build on........ The six week course was timed perfectly so the students would be completed just before Christmas and would have the option of giving handmade jewelry if so desired. A basic beading skill needed to make jewelry was learnt and each person was presented with their own tool kit. With a variety of glass, natural and semi precious beads used each week, the students left with beautiful jewelry that was ready to be worn!

It's amazing to see how the ladies grew in confidence and created different designs from one concept...... Individuals had their own ideas and the classes allowed them to express themselves and be in total creative control..... We enjoyed each other's company and were able to support and make suggestions to each other as a team....

Every week a different project was completed and we're proud of the results. We will be conducting another session of jewelry design and production I in early 2010 and will be continuing on with jewelry design and production II also in early 2010. We will advise as soon as the dates are finalized for the new classes.
