The Sandals Foundation donated 10 computers to two deserving charities, the Bahamas AIDS Foundation and the PACE Program.
Making the presentation recently to the two organizations on behalf of the Sandals Foundation were team members from Sandals Royal Bahamian along with the property's General Manager, Patrick Drake.
The Sandals Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts. The Foundation funds educational, community and environmental projects throughout the Caribbean.
"We are very happy to make this contribution to these two vital organizations in our community," Drake said. "The work of the Bahamas AIDS Foundation and the PACE program ensures that some of the most vulnerable members of our population are given a fighting chance at life."
The PACE program provides education and support to teen mothers and promotes awareness and policies that reduce both teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among young adults.
Jacqueline Knowles, program coordinator at PACE said that the Sandals Foundation's donation will ensure that the young ladies are given opportunities to make positive contributions to society.
"These donations will assist our students in learning technological skills that will allow them to function effectively in society," Knowles said. "Your organization's generosity is greatly appreciated."
The Bahamas AIDS Foundation is a non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the fight against HIV/AIDS in the community. Their vision is to provide education and awareness, to assist in the prevention, treatment and cure, and to provide support for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Bahamas AIDS Foundation board member Dr. Vaughan Conliffe said that the Foundation's donation was greatly appreciated:
"We are grateful for the generosity of cooperate sponsors like the Sandals Foundation who support our work in The Bahamas."
