UNITED CARIBBEAN TRUST - 2004 achievements HAPPY CHRISTMAS GRENADA- December 2004
Thank you Barbados for your support. WORLD TRAVEL MARKET- London, November 2004 The opportunity for a global outreach was available at the World Travel Market.
Enabling them to visit Grenada to help with either 'The Pomme Rose Eco Project' involving clearing, planting and hiking. "The La Mode Experience" allows the potential to immerse yourself into village life, rub shoulders with the locals, get involved with the schools, the sports team events, the churches and the general restoration of the area. Or if neither of these Grenada incentives encourage you to visit on a 'Working Holiday' maybe water is the pull. Come and live aboard a genuine 'Tall Ship', work as a crew member, teach the youngsters to sail, to work together as a team. Be involved in character building experiences and know that 10% of your holiday costs will be tithed to United Caribbean Trust for use in its Empowerment Programmes. Caribzones Barbados Ltd has for years promoted tourism throughout the Caribbean. Great emphasis has been placed on the concept of twin island destinations with Barbados/Carriacou as one of the initial duos promoted within the sports and watersports arena. Caribzones has always been pleased to be associated with any form of conservation and sustainable tourism.

The
need to support and encourage the children of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite
Martinique in the time leading up to and including Christmas was vital
for their ability to cope with the life changing challenges that hurricane
Ivan has inflicted on these little people. United Caribbean walked in
over 400 toys to the pre school children of Carriacou from the children
in Barbados. 
Various
fund raising events have been organised both in Carriacou and Barbados.
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 and any local or Grenadian
professional administration staff that require a safe retreat with professional
back up. The tranquil, peace- filled setting can also house the teachers
who may accompany displaced students who are projected to relocate to
Grenada to continue schooling that has been interrupted by the storm.
There
is a tremendous opportunity here to create not only a safe, peaceful

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

spillover from Grenadian residents. The hospital and it satellite Health
