The Caribbean is not just sun, sea and lovely beaches… It is made up of many developing countries and communities. Children and youth in many Caribbean countries suffer when it comes to sports education, and most of the time, this is the only outlet these children have to express themselves, have fun and develop as individuals.
Sports is a powerful development tool, and can empower and inspire children to live and enjoy life to its fullest. At True Volunteer Foundation, we are determined to make a difference to the lives of many children and youth living in developing Caribbean countries and communities. Our campaign is aimed at providing assistance to designated forums where children and youths between the ages of 8-17 are given a place where they can come together to tackle a range of challenging social issues within their communities through a wide range of sporting and education activities. The programme is expected to help and make a real difference to the lives of thousands of children and youth living in the Caribbean.
