Members of the Salvation Army’s Harbour Light programme have been putting their creativity to work by crafting an array of vibrant Bermuda kites.

The handmade kites, bursting with colour and tradition, are available for purchase in the lead-up to Easter. The initiative not only celebrates a beloved Bermudian custom but also raises funds to support the programme.

Neal Trott, a counsellor, explained the significance of the activity to Bernews.

“Every year at this time, our clients engage in kite-making activities,” he said. “We make kites that we sell to the public and that money goes directly towards the client’s activities and anything they need.

“It’s something we celebrate as part of our rehabilitation. We do a comprehensive rehabilitation programme. So, we try to do much more than just regular addiction treatment.”
