Bahamas Waste Celebrates Continued Support of Nassau Rowing Club

Tue, Dec 5th 2023, 02:06 PM

Bahamas Waste continues to celebrate its nine-year partnership with Nassau Rowing Club, through a renewed commitment to ensuring the organization’s sanitation needs are met year-round.

At the club’s Lake Cunningham site, Bahamas Waste has provided public toilet or “porta-potty” facilities, in addition to waste bins for the club’s members and guests, with frequent servicing free of charge.

Since 2011 Nassau Rowing Club has impacted lives throughout the country, particularly in New Providence, introducing young Bahamians to the sport of rowing which can unlock life-changing opportunities including educational scholarships. The club operates six days a week at Lake Cunningham and has over 50 members, starting from as young as six-years-old.

“Historically, we’ve operated in people’s backyards and places where we didn’t have access to bathroom facilities,” Kyle Chea, Nassau Rowing President explained. “So, what Bahamas Waste has come in and done is basically make it so that we can operate a facility that is more-or-less self-contained, not having to infringe on the hospitality of others more so than we already do."

"Everyone needs to go to the bathroom and should have the ability to do it in a sanitary way. So, until we get to the point where we can have four walls and running water, Bahamas Waste has basically given us a self-contained facility and we’re thankful.”

Over the past year the club has been focused on getting more public high school students involved, recently introducing 250 C.R. Walker Senior High students to the sport and into row boats. By May of next year, the club aims to expose more than 1,000 government school students to rowing machines and hopefully recruit some of them into their Opportunities & Access Rowing Squad (OARS). OARS removes as many barriers as possible for promising athletes to participates in

rowing: a shuttle provides round trip transport from C.R. Walker to Lake Cunningham; swimming lessons are provided at no cost, and donated clothing is provided from donors and friends in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Chea said with more colleges and universities interested in recruiting young rowers, Nassau Rowing Club has been seeking to get more high school students involved to potentially introduce them to more scholarship opportunities.

“Rowing has one of the lowest applicant-to-scholarship ratios across the NCAA, which makes it highly attractive, coupled with our deep relationships with several Head and Associate Head Coaches at leading programmes across the United States” Chea said.

“We’re focusing on recruiting Bahamian students, primarily from government schools, underprivileged backgrounds, who are usually the most at risk. If we can find enough young Bahamians who can meet the baseline athletic standard, they can work to meet the baseline academic standard, while we can then provide an additional avenue for them to get scholarship aid through athletics. So, through the sport we’re really trying to change lives.”

“Nassau Rowing Club, for years, has been doing such a great job throughout the community, and we’ve been truly impressed,” said Bahamas Waste Managing Director Francisco de Cardenas.

“The work the club continues to do with the youth of our country is admirable and one that must be celebrated. So, we look forward to supporting them in their venture, in whatever way we can.”

BTVI partners with Breezes Bahamas to manufacture staff uniforms

Mon, Nov 27th 2023, 10:46 AM

The Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) has ventured into a partnership with Breezes Bahamas to supply uniforms for staff of the resort. 

The institution signed a contract with the resort Thursday, November 23, 2023 that will allow for students, instructors and alumni to design and create uniforms for employees of Breezes. 

During the press conference at the school’s Old Trail campus, BTVI interim president Dr. Linda Davis described the initiative as a “win-win” one.  

“From the bellman to those in housekeeping and the front desk employees, to servers in the restaurant, Breezes staff will proudly wear uniforms made in The Bahamas” said Dr. Davis.

“BTVI’s fashion design team will be providing custom-designed, locally made uniforms for the staff of Breezes Bahamas and simultaneously, Breezes will be supporting the local fashion industry and promoting economic growth.

“We will create 100 uniforms that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional for the various roles at the resort whether shirts, skirts, pants, vests, scrubs, bush jackets. No doubt this product will foster a sense of pride amongst Breezes and the BTVI team members.

"This initiative is what you call skill development training at its highest level. This initiative is what you call collaboration.  Today seals the deal.”

The initiative will be led by international designer and head of department Apryl Burrows, and instructor and master tailor John Lewis.  Mr. Lewis will manage the initial project of 100 uniform shirts which is expected to go into production next week with the use of an assembly line.

The Hon. Glenys Hanna-Martin Minister of Education and technical and vocational training thanked Managing Director of Breezes Bahamas, Muna Issa. 

“We are so grateful to you that you have had the understanding and the passion for this nation to understand the meaning of this relationship to the roots of who we are as a people. I hope this is just the beginning. I hope corporate Bahamas is listening and watching about these types of partnerships and how they imbue a strengthening of us as a people and as a nation.

“We are proud that the resort is going to display the work of our talented Bahamians,” she said.

Minister Hanna-Martin also thanked board of directors of BTVI, instructors and leaders of the institution.  

Ms. Issa said Breezes is very excited about the collaboration. “We’re glad to be leading the way and partnering with BTVI,” she said.

The press conference was followed by a tour of the Fashion Department.
