 Annually, the Sufra Regional Development Foundation, SRDF, bumps thousands of dollars into a scholarship and book bursary program that benefits hundreds of families in Sufra and its environments. Last year, approximately $150,000 was invested into the program. This year, as the Education Committee of the SRDF looks to relaunch its educational programs, the chair of the committee, Sheri Steylor, explains that education is at the heart of the operations of the SRDF and this year, the scholarship and book bursary program will commence earlier. So we will be commencing our bursary program on Monday 5th June which is a lot earlier and we've made it easy for all our parents and guardians to get access to the forms so the forms are now available at all schools in the district and at our office on Bay Street. By her account, the Sufra Regional Development Foundation will be doing all within its power to ensure that everyone who needs access to books receives them. To make the process even more seamless for our parents and guardians, one of the things that we've added is our intents will be going out to the various communities to ensure that parents can get an opportunity to apply right there in their community. So we're commencing in Sufra, then we're heading over to François Jacques, then Mon Lacroix and Françoli, and we're culminating in Bouton. In July, what we're hoping to do, our interns and some of our employees will also be going to the schools at the end of the school term to ensure that whilst parents, whilst they are collecting the books, we have an opportunity again to apply for the program. She says the process is simple and the requirements are straightforward. You really need an application form, you need two reference forms from of course your teacher or principal, you need a photo ID, you need your grades and your book list. What we've done this year and what we're going to accept is we're going to allow parents to do two parts. You fill out your application form, you can submit that, and then you submit your grades and book list right after. We've also partnered with Bell Portraits from Excelsior Plaza, where our parents and guardians, you can take your child over to Bell Portraits, they get their photo, they get their picture taken, and then we will incur that cost for you. Taking inspiration from one of Saint Lucia's Nobel laureates, Sir Arthur Lewis, Taylor says the aim is to ensure that every child has an equal chance at a good education. In this vein, she says there has been one addition to the educational program at the SRDF. She says the company is elated to introduce an initiative that will benefit aspiring university students from the community of Sufra. This year we're hoping to sponsor one student at the university level and of course, since it's the inception of the program, what we've done is we've limited it to universities in the region. More information will be coming out soon via our social media platforms and our radio station on that aspect of the scholarship. However, I can almost guarantee that a few of the requirements would be an acceptance letter from the university, you're 18 to 35 years, and what your field of study is actually part of the priority list. By Taylor's account, the Sufra Original Development Foundation intends on ensuring the education drive in Sufra continues as both the organization and the community have seen the benefits of this initiative.
