Cultural Institute donates toysLAWRENCE — The Massachusetts Cultural Institute of Puerto Rico recently donated toys and games to the Lawrence Administrative Support Staff Union of the Lawrence Public Schools for their children and grandchildren.

“It’s always our pleasure to support and thank members of educational institutions that care for our youth in every possible way,” said Jose Davila, Cultural Institute of Puerto Rico President. “Without their tireless labor, it would be even more difficult for our educators to teach our children. We thank them for their determined work; they are the backbone of the educational institution.”

Items included dolls, action figures, educational learning games and toy vehicles donated by ICPR to members of the union in July. LASSA union members called it “Christmas in July” and were thrilled to bring the donations to surprised children and grandchildren.

“ICPR has been a pillar in our community and it’s no surprise, to us, that they continue to support their community,” said LASSA Union President Vivian Bonet. “Their donation to children elevates their belief, to everyone’s knowledge, that organizations have a responsibility to contribute and support our youth.

“We are grateful to ICPR for choosing LASSA and thank President Davila and his entire board and staff for their contribution,” Bonet added.
