Freeport, Bahamas
- The Grand Bahama Port Authority Limited (GBPA), spread holiday cheer to
hundreds of excited youngsters, distributing gifts as part of the
company’s annual toy drive.
After visiting eastern Grand Bahama last year, GBPA executives and staff
members went to the west on Friday, bearing brightly packaged presents for
students of West End, and Holmes
Rock Primary
Schools.
Mr. Hannes Babak, Chairman-GBPA, Mr.
Ian Rolle, President-GBPA, Mrs.
Ginger Moxey, Vice President-GBPA, and the full contingent of GBPA departmental
employees of the year, showered the kids with song, treats, and surprises.
As Mr. Babak brought brief remarks to the tiny tots gathered in the Eight Mile
Rock high school gymnasium, their eyes filled with wonderment.

“Christmas is a time of giving. Kids, you worked hard this school year!!!
We are sharing these gifts with you today, to remind you that we are watching
you as you make the right choices and stay on the path as good boys and girls.
These gifts are just a little reminder from us to you, as you stay focus and
remain on the right track.”
Also addressing the group was Miss Brooke Sands, GBPA 2009-2010 ‘Group
Employee of the Year’. With an inspirational message to share, she had
each child recite these motivating words, “I am somebody! I can do all
things through Christ who Strengthens Me!” Taking the time to remind each
child to set goals and achieve them.
Mr. Rolle commended the many GBPA employees whose gracious monetary donations
helped make the annual event a success.
