Uncle Darron’s South Windward Easter Family Fun Day brought together families from across the constituency at the Stubbs Playing Field on Easter Sunday.
“I loved the bouncy castle and the face painting! I got a butterfly on my cheek. I hope Uncle Darron does this every year!” beamed 7-year-old Amaya.
The event was organised by community activist Darron Rodan John who is vying to become the ruling Unity Labour Party’s (ULP) candidate for South Windward in the next general election.
It created a vibrant space for children and adults alike to enjoy games, entertainment, refreshments, and most importantly, each other.
“This is what South Windward is all about: love, togetherness, and looking out for one another,” John said.
“Seeing the children smiling, especially at the bounce castle and face painting stations, reminded me why we do this.”
One of the event’s highlights was a spirited football tournament, which drew teens from different areas.
“The football tournament was epic!” said 15-year-old Donte. “It was great competing with friends and making new ones. Can’t wait for next year’s event.”
In addition to the fun and games, attendees participated in a donation drive to support 2-year-old Romarie John, who is in urgent need of medical assistance.
“I am truly touched by the love shown today,” a press release quoted someone close to Romarie’s mother as saying.
A donation of $950 was given to the father of the child on April 27.
The press release said the family was elated, saying that the money will go a long way in assisting them in meeting some of the financial challenges they are facing as a result of Romarie’s illness.
Meanwhile, the aspiring politician expressed gratitude to the sponsors, volunteers, and every attendee who contributed to the day’s success.
“This is just the beginning,” he said. “Together, we will continue to build a stronger, more united South Windward.”
“With glowing feedback and unforgettable moments shared by many, Uncle Darron’s Family Fun Day 2025 is sure to be remembered as a milestone of community love and togetherness, one that residents hope becomes an annual tradition,” the press release stated.
Pay attention how the ULP runs a campaign. They go around organizing children parties to get your votes then they get into power drive big cars, have to best and biggest of everything and you get nothing. Look good at how the ULP runs a political campaign. For the benefit of your children.
