Not for profit organisation launches literacy programme
A non-profit organisation is set to give back to students in Antigua and Barbuda in a significant way.
Scrub Life Cares, which was founded by Tanya Ambrose, daughter of Antiguan cricket legend Sir Curtly Ambrose, is dedicated to improving the well-being of underprivileged communities to protect and serve youth, and to create positivity.
With that mantra in mind, the group has decided to launch its inaugural literacy programme, which will be to offer literacy packages with essential items.
“Through our literacy programme, we are committing to donating 100 backpacks filled with school supplies and other essential items to low-income families for the upcoming 2021 fall school term. We’ve decided that this time around, to kick off this part of our programme, we will serve the Irene B Williams Secondary School who will work along with us to help us distribute the backpacks to students in the surrounding communities.
