They say a smile can light up a room. Well little Turaé Went-Barnett, 10 years of Gibbons Boggs, Christ Church made sure the room was well lit. On Sunday the 7th day of August 2016, The Precious Touch Foundation Inc. visited Turaé at his home where he was present with his mother Julie Went, father Adrian Barnett and little sister. On arrival, everyone congregated in the living room and a surprised expression was plastered all over Turaé’s face. At times we didn’t know if he was crying, laughing, smiling or serious. However, we knew he was speechless. The feeling was priceless. Director Henderson Rouse then questioned Turaé about the DVD player he wanted to which Turaé gave him the dreaded stare. (DVD Player) hahaha yeah yeah joked Turaé. But when Volunteer Carol Toppin invited Turaé to inspect the bag she was carrying, Turaé burst into an expression of excitement. It was truly a breathtaking moment. Sharing the excitement of this wish were Vice President St. Auban, Director Henderson and Volunteers Andria, Tara, Joan, and Damien.

I Wish To Have A Laptop – Leche Pile 12 Years Old
A precious wish for a beautiful girl and a pleasant home visit surprise for us. On Sunday, April 24, 2016, Precious Touch Foundation Inc. and Xtreme Hikers Barbados joined together to make a wish come true. This wish request of a Laptop for 12-year-old Leche Pile was donated by the members of XHB. It seemed that while a very enthusiastic and excited wish-granting team congregated outside Leche’s home, her mother Allison Pile was busy putting the finishing touch on her moment of ‘surprise’ inside the house. Finally, we were welcomed into a home which was already set up and prepared for a family gathering and an ‘after wish’ party. Allison made certain that the day would indeed be the happiest for Leche, not only for the wish presentation but also for members of her family to celebrate Leche’s recovery following her lengthy stay in the hospital. As the presentation was made to Leche by Shurland Mayers (volunteer & XHB member) the room suddenly erupted in laughter and applause. It was quite an emotional experience as Leche and her mum carefully opened the box to reveal her Laptop. After this special occasion, we were all invited to join the entire family for the ‘after wish’ karaoke party. It was truly an evening that we at P.T.F. Inc. will always remember. Thanks to the Pile family for making our visit so enjoyable. Also special thanks to Mr. Karan Lilani (World Electronics ) for his kind support with this precious wish.
