| The kids smile- Sandals Foundation |
Tuesday, July 21, 2015
Sandals Foundation volunteer and student of Hampton School, Alexie Harding, spent much of last Friday assisting children at the Hanover Parish Library with bracelet-making, during an outreach led by the Sandals Foundation team and guests from Beaches Negril. Over 50 children benefited from the community service initiative, which also included 'story time', puppet making, basic computer lessons, and an introduction to the culture of Colombia as well as the US states of Georgia and South Carolina, from which the resort's guests hail. Hundreds of books, stationery and other items were also donated to the library and its summer programme participants.

Beaches Negril multi-repeat guest Tom Vooris had the rapt attention of six-toeight-year-olds at the Hanover Parish Library, as he engaged them with 'story time' during a visit to the facility through the Sandals Foundation. Vooris and his friends also introduced the approximately 50 students to aspects of US and Colombian culture, joined the Sandals Foundation team in leading puppet and jewellery-making exercises, facilitated computer lessons, and gifted participants as well as the library with books, stationery and other supplies. The Hanover Parish Library Network also benefited from an additional 67 books, donated by another Beaches repeat family and long-standing donors, the Franks.
Sandals Foundation volunteers, Beaches Negril Resort & Spa guests and children, and staff at the Hanover Parish Library are all smiles following a successful 'voluntourism' activity last Friday. more
