 Souffre is home to some of the most picturesque sites on the island and as the agency with responsibility for the upkeep of majority of these sites, the Souffre Regional Development Foundation, SRDF, continues to work towards ensuring that its mandate to protect, serve and sustain the community and its heritage is fulfilled. Recent leader SRDF and Sugar Beach Advisory Resort partnered to enhance some often frequented areas in Souffre. Resort manager at Sugar Beach, Jonathan Payne says both organizations care about the development of the community, therefore such a collaboration was imperative. We have to really look after the areas and we'd like to assist the Souffre Foundation with this so the Palappas at the Beach Park were one of the areas where we really felt that we could improve. There's a lot of local visitors who go to Souffre, not just who stay with us here but who use local airbnbs, local hotels, come in for the day on the cruise ships and day tours. We want to make sure that the facilities are up to the right standard and we're just very proud to be able to assist the community and Souffre Foundation. Along the walkway we wanted to also improve there with some more painting, we're going to do some planting of more garden areas and also we've been helping in the past with some of the schools. Payne says assisting an organization that has the mandate to improve the community holistically only goes to show how seriously Sugar Beach takes its social corporate responsibility. I think there's already a very established relationship with a lot of the larger hospitality partners in the south the island particularly around the Souffre region and we want to continue having that rapport with the Souffre Foundation and keep developing and improving the areas and I would encourage businesses to really support their community social responsibility initiatives and and keep moving things along because it really does make big impactful strides to the local communities. The director of engineering at Sugar Beach Cornell Jones explains that Sugar Beach and the SRDF will be collaborating even further in the future to ensure that residents of Souffre have access to only the best. Another observation that we saw was poor lighting so we are going to increase the lighting there also and the boardwalk we're going to be doing some refinishing again and whatever bits we can do so it's us partnering with you guys we're very happy to do so for the community and for the people and from me being from the community I want to make sure these things do happen so I will keep at it. As it continues on its mission to foster social economic and cultural developments in the Souffre region the Souffre Regional Development Foundation has promised to work with its partners both in and out of Souffre for the benefits of the people.
