UNITED CARIBBEAN TRUST - Future Objectives SEEKING FUNDS It is our intention to continue to obtain additional supplies plus carry out and monitor relief needs, especially the vulnerable members of communities targeted in Carriacou and Grenada. These efforts will be documented and submitted to relevant agencies. It is hoped that these inputs will assist with informing a revised Disaster Management Policy for the Caribbean Region. We are of the opinion that such policy revision is urgently needed to reduce the impact of weather and other disastrous events on our island nations. Inputs will include: There are invaluable lessons to be learned from Ivan the Catalyst which can be applied to other islands' recovery efforts. The input of United Caribbean can only add to the region’s current capacity for efficient disaster management and prompt response to both citizens needs and restoration and rebuilding of island infrastructures.

United
Caribbean's Carriacou base headquarters Cassada Bay appears to to be the
perfect retreat location to be utilised not only as a base of operations
for United Caribbean but Cassada Bay would provide serene and adequate
accommodation for relief workers, councilors, 
There
is a tremendous opportunity here to create not only a safe, peaceful 
Cassada
Bay is also an ideal place for a children's after school activity area,
with cricket, netball, basketball volleyball, snorkelling, kayaking and
sailing, kitchen gardening, hiking and other educational rehabilitation
projects taking precedence at this time..

Another area identified in Grenada is La Mode Click to see the youth of the village helping with distribution. For further information contact Mrs. Melanie Bishop Tel: (2460 432-1137 Schools Twinning programme
With that in mind, the United Caribbean team documented the pupils, their schools and the damages sustained, in order to set a framework on which we could build. Lists of schools' needs for supplies to be donated will be posted on www.UnitedCaribbean.com. Schools may be helped by their counterparts throughout the Caribbean. Some schools are linked to local churches,(ie. Anglican, Roman Catholic and Methodist). These organisations will be approached to encourage the youth in Barbadian churches to become involved in this very special 'School Twinning Programme' Chat rooms between the twinned schools could produce a modern day 'pen pal' arrangement as teachers felt this exercise could be integral to students' IT training. Click on the 'school challenges' on the side bar to learn about the schools on the island and how your school can help. WISH LIST- BISHOP'S COLLEGE

This
facility is currently servicing the needs of Carriacou and some of the
spillover from Grenadian residents. The hospital and it satellite Health
centres are responsible for community wellness and play a large role in
the recovery process. There is a great need for repairs to the roof of
the main building which was damaged and is sited on a windy hillside.
