 The Boys Training Center has received a timely donation from CIBC First Caribbean International Bank. We get the details in this report. CIBC First Caribbean International Bank is exercising their corporate social responsibility through a donation to the Boys Training Center. The financial institution is donating 30 lifetime shares and a kitchen stove to assist with the facility's daily operations. CIBC's country head for St. Lucia and director for corporate business development in the OECS, Victor Boyce says, through this donation they are demonstrating their appreciation for the work of the Boys Training Center, providing a family environment, care and safety for the wards. Your work is bridging critical gaps in the fundamental needs of your wards. In addition to the rehabilitation aspect of the work of the BTC, the institution brings forcefully to mind the saying that it takes a village to raise a child. For we know that in every village there are those who have more and there are those who have less. Some homes can offer an environment that is more enabling of balanced growth and development than others can. It therefore befalls institutions and civil society at large to help narrow the gap of need and to link hands to provide that safety net before or you fall through the cracks into deviance and destitution. Kashama Shigoshi guidance counselor at the Boys Training Center expressed her gratitude for the generous gift and says it is a learning opportunity for the wards at the center. Your donation is quite timely as it solidifies some of the work we have been doing in the life skills program where social responsibility is concerned. Last week we had a debate on social responsibility but even before that we did corporate social responsibility. So today the boys are seeing firsthand an experience in what it is for the corporate world to say yes I want to volunteer, yes I want to donate. So it's not just talk for them but they are seeing it come to play. Shigoshi says one more need of the facility is met. This donation allows their meeting areas to be fully stocked and the wards will no longer have to carry chairs from one classroom to another. She hopes for further collaboration with the financial institution on other projects targeted towards the rehabilitation of the young men of Sintusha.
