Southland Gaming’s Community Award Program Announces First Winner

Southland Gaming of the Virgin Islands announced that the recipient of its first $1,000 Community Award is Beulah L. Wilson, Director of the Nana Baby Children’s Home, Inc., in Annas Retreat.  The award was announced on August 20, 2010.  

Ms. Wilson, who at 75 has been Director since 2006, oversees the full operations of the Home, which cares for over 80 children annually from newborn to 12 years of age.  Children are referred to Nana Baby Children’s Home because they have been abandoned, abused, neglected or lack custodial care.  In nominating Ms. Wilson for the Community Award, Tina Brunt stated,” I am struck each time I visit the Home of the incredible effort it takes on the part of Ms. Wilson and her staff and volunteers to meet the needs of the children who are  neglected, abandoned and in need of care.  I have been inspired by Ms. Wilson to be a more attentive mother and more understanding of the dire circumstances that many of the children of our community have to face.”

Congratulations to Beulah L. Wilson, first recipient of Southland Gaming’s Community Award Program of a $1,000 grant!
