Almost 250 Dominican children, now\u00a0studying and residing in Antigua, following the devastating passage of Hurricane Maria\u00a0through their homeland, were recently surprised with a gift of school supplies and back\u00a0packs by the Sandals Foundation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This is a continuation of a similar project, in coordination with the Ministry of Education of\u00a0Antigua and Barbuda in September, where much-needed school supplies were gifted to\u00a0Barbudan children displaced by hurricane Irma.<\/p>\n

As part of a continuing effort to bring relief and recovery to those islands impacted by the destructive hurricane season this year, the Sandals Foundation, which operates in seven Caribbean countries, has committed itself to supporting the children and their families who left everything and moved to Antigua.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

In the immediate wake of Irma, Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, Gordon \u201cButch\u201d\u00a0Stewart announced a personal donation of $150,000 to assist the children of the island of Barbuda. Stewart\u2019s donation is being managed by the Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Sandals group.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Sandals Grande Antigua General Manager Gaurav \u201cG\u201d Sindhi who was present for the hand-over of back packs at National Public Library, said the Foundation had made a long term commitment to supporting the education of children impacted by the storms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our way of meeting the immediate needs of children, many of whom came to Antigua with very little personal possessions and need some assistance to get the most out of their education,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe have on-going dialogue with the Ministry of Education to assist with the rebuilding of the primary school in Barbuda which is no longer operational.\u201d<\/p>\n
