UNITED
CARIBBEAN TRUST - base headquarters
|
United Caribbean Trust aims to have base headquarters
in various areas throughout the Caribbean. The first of these is
located at Cassada Bay in Carriacou. |
Cassada Bay is a beautiful old, once- empty, hotel
located on the island of Carriacou.
Now the home for 2005 of the United Caribbean Trust.

from the local village who joined us to bless the First Food served
at Cassada Bay.

Other small gatherings included the members of Youth
with a Mission, seen here enjoying a sunset meal whilst guests
at Cassada Bay in January 2005, during an outreach programme of WYAM
Discipleship Training
Schools(DTS). |
|
All the UCT bases need to be able to provide retreat
locations, in tranquil, peace- filled settings, able to house up
to 24 relief workers or 12 working holiday volunteers.
|
There is a tremendous opportunity here short term
to create not only a safe, peaceful base for the United Caribbean
team but a storage and kit packing centre in the case of another
disaster.
The Cassada Bay base is a great retreat for professionals
traumatised by natural disaster; those still having to shoulder
the responsibility for the health and education sectors within the
community. Providing a Christian counseling refuge |
|
Cassada Bay is also an ideal place for a children's after
school club activity area, with netball, basketball, snorkelling, kayaking
and sailing, hiking and other educational rehabilitation projects taking
precedence at this time.
Short term volunteer working holidays will add flavour
to the mix as the future of Cassada Bay slowly unfolds.
United Caribbean Trust seeks international funding to
make this dream a realty throughout the Caribbean. Teams of youths from
local and inter-Caribbean churches, community youth groups and women's
organisations could make good use of these bases for disaster mitigation
training. Opening a new niche market for humanitarian working holidays
and hands of help.
