"We believe when children and adults eat well they avoid chronic health issues in the future, have sharper minds and fitter bodies now, and bring greater value to society throughout their lifetimes." - Ronnie's Organic Team
ABACO, Bahamas -- After working with young people over the span of almost 30 years, Whitney Bain (Ronnie's Organic) will launch his first retail venture in The Bahamas as it relates to the funding of youth work and leadership development.
Many years ago Whitney's life was changed for the better by the intervention of a caring high school teacher named Mrs. Mary Nabb (now deceased). Having observed him making wrong decisions and heading in the wrong direction, Mrs. Nabb had confronted him and shown him a picture of himself in the years ahead. He did not like what he saw and found her intervention pivotal in changing his direction.
Shortly after that episode Whitney started to work with his classmates, helping them with homework, class assignments and also showing them pictures of themselves in the future. This willingness to share what he had learnt stamped itself on his life, and he has replicated ever since. Over the years Whitney has facilitated countless sessions aimed at motivating young people. Additionally, he has held positions on several school boards, lead youth departments and has conducted many sessions specific to leadership and personal development.
After having worked in these settings, Whitney recognized that one of the major failings of many of the past and current youth initiatives is a lack of proper funding. This has led him to focus his current efforts on developing a project to fund the efforts of the youth organizations that he is associated with and to also address a matter that he has identified as an area of concern as it relates to young people achieving their full potential academically: proper nutrition.
