For the third year, The Villages at Coverley will be hosting a 5K Run/Walk for charity. Last year, $5,722.50 was donated to the Little Pink Gift Foundation. The support we received from our Residents and the public was truly remarkable and greater than we anticipated. This year, we have chosen The Ark Animal Welfare Society of Barbados as the beneficiary and will donate 75% of the proceeds to assist those abused and abandoned animals which will provide them with the proper healthcare.

If you are interested in volunteering your time and energy to this wonderful cause, please email us at:recreationcentre@villagesatcoverley. netbefore February 8. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Mission:Funded solely by donations/fund-raising events and run by a paid staff of two plus a team of dedicated volunteers, we are dedicated to animal rights and the welfare of all animals living in Barbados. Our aim is to encourage the public, especially children, to be aware of the responsibilities of keeping any animal. Through education and example, knowledge is being instilled to promote the well-being of animals.

Overview:Caring passionately, we rescue, rehabilitate and re-home stray and unwanted dogs. We care for them until new homes can be found, giving them the highest standards of kenneling and veterinary care. Presently, we do not have the space or facilities to shelter cats but we do assist in re-homing them or finding temporary foster homes. We strongly advocate spaying/neutering to reduce the litters of unwanted puppies

MONTHLY TIPPlant a Tree in Honor of Someone You Love

Instead of giving cut flowers this Valentine’s Day, why not give a tree? According to the Arbor Day Foundation, planting trees helps to fight climate change.

Through the natural process of photosynthesis, trees absorb CO2 and other pollutant particulates, then store the carbon and emit pure oxygen.

“For me, the convenience of the amenities is the best!”

That was what Brenda Earle had to say about what she likes the most about living in The Villages. However, her husband Robert Earle, likes the entire concept – its structure, the peacefulness and the friendliness of the neighbours.

STRAWBERRY SWIRL CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE BARS

• For the filling: Beat cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 3 full minutes. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips evenly on top of crust, then spread the filling on top of the chocolate chips. Drop large spoonfuls of jam on top of filling and swirl with a knife. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake has set up and the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature and then completely in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Lift the foil out of the pan and cut into squares.
