Hundred shoebox gifts, packed by Barbadian children as well as corporate and civic Barbados, were delivered to underprivileged children in Haiti this Christmas.

Thanks to the girls from Christ Church Girls Primary School who did an excellent job.

During an interview with the Barbados Advocate newspaper Jenny Tryhane, founder of United Caribbean Trust stated "When we go in with the shoeboxes it offers an opportunity to photograph and document children. Of course, it is an opportunity for children in Barbados to share, give and experience the true reason for Christmas."” She added, “"The long term objective is the Child Sponsorship Program which is US$30 a month. The thirty dollars is subdivided into education, family empowerment and a feeding after school club program" Jenny explained.
