Students of the Des Barrass Combined School are enjoying their refurbished school, parts of which have benefitted from work carried out by the employees of CIBC FirstCaribbean. Employees at the financial services company rallied together to refurbish the exterior and library of the school as part of its Adopt a Cause Programme.
The Adopt a Cause Programme is the bank’s annual initiative where employees identify groups, organisations, schools or projects within their communities that they are passionate about, and are in need of assistance. The employees then get together and work towards making a difference in their community, and as a result, become more intimately in tuned with the needs of their communities, and enriching the lives of those in need.
Over the years the programme has contributed towards a number of organisations and schools including Augier Combined School, Babanneau Secondary School, Bexon Infant School, Bocage Combined School, Camp Lajwa Project, Canaries Infant School, Fond St, Jacques Primary School, Grand Riviere Infant and Primary Schools, Gros Islet Soup Kitchen, La Croix Maingot Combined School, Marian Home, Mongouge Adult Day Care, National Community Foundation, National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities, Roseau Combined School, Salvation Army Preschool and Day Care Centre, Soufriere Hospital Paediatric Ward, Soufriere Infant and Primary Schools, and the Vide Boutielle Primary School.
