Child Month celebrations continued with Father-Daughter Evening last Wednesday (16 May).

In each district, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) organized dinner and games for families to enjoy.

Held at Corita’s Cooper Kettle in George Town, families came out to enjoy an evening of food and fellowship.

As he shared a few of his own parenting tips, Minister Adam encouraged fathers to secure a loving relationship with their daughters by spending quality time and expressing ever-lasting love. He also reminded families to cherish their relationships as is it is one of the foundations to a happy home as well as a strong community.
