There are currently 40 youngsters engaged at the center. The Sandals Foundation has committed to assist with much-needed upgrades of the facility including the youth accommodation and kitchen area, construction of basic horse stables and completion of a small gift shop to be used for entrepreneurship training.

Educators in Nassau and Exuma are this week participating in the annual Character Day Teacher Training Workshop, giving them the tools to offer character education to students across The Bahamas.

The workshops are organized by the Providing Access to Continued Education (PACE) Foundation, Lyford Ca...y Foundation’s FOCUS programme, and Bahamas AIDS Foundation and funded by the FTBL Charitable Foundation and the Sandals Foundation. . . . . #sandalsfoundation #characterday #education #inspirehope #bahamas #inspirehope #onecaribbean #donate #volunteer #dogood #4agoodcause

See MoreOur 42 "Care for Kids" scholarship recipients are excited and ready for the new school year but before they go off, they are spending the last of their summer break doing some good around their communities. Our scholarship recipients from the Ocho Rios region spent some time over the weekend bringing joy to the residents of the Ocho Rios Infirmary. We strongly advocate that our students spend time volunteering because, outside of giving back to their communities, volunteerism... also helps to build valuable character traits such as empathy, wisdom, and courage. . . . . #sandalsfoundation #careforkids #scholarship #summer #volunteerism #doinggood #4agoodcause #volunteer #buildingcommunities #education #tuesdaythoughts #caribbean #inspirehope
See MoreIt is that time of year when Elk and Staghorn corals spawn, sending their eggs into the currents of the sea to attach onto other reefs and grow more coral in new locations. Sandals Foundation has established 4 coral nurseries and planted over 4000 pieces of Elk and staghorn corals which will be spawning and helping to populate more areas with new corals. This phenomenon creates an underwater world with billions of colorful flakes cascading in white, yellow, red and orange. These coral act as habitat for fish and as protective barriers for our shorelines protecting us from storm surges and hurricanes. . . . #sandalsfoundaton #friday #coralreef #coral #ocean #marinelife #caribbean #nature #sea #marinesanctuary #inspirehope #donate #volunteer #monday #coralspawning

The community of Glengoffe in St. Catherine, Jamaica has a long a rich history in the straw craft industry. However, over the years, participation in the tradition that was once the major source of employment for residents of the community has dwindled. The Sandals Foundation, through the Straw Artisan Project, is reviving that craft in the community to create employment for its residents. Learn more about the area's history and the project here!
