Halo Foundation Ends Year on a Positive Note with Nationwide Anti-Bullying Resource Distribution
The Halo Foundation closed 2025 on a strong and impactful note, following the distribution of anti-bullying and conflict-resolution resources to 34 primary and secondary schools across Antigua and Barbuda.
The island-wide distribution was led by Bolinda Baptiste, alongside Cuthbert Forbes, as part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to youth development and violence prevention.
The exercise forms part of the Halo Foundation’s national anti-bullying campaign, which was launched in 2018 to proactively address youth violence and promote a safer, more inclusive learning environment throughout the twin-island state.
The Foundation’s President, Her Excellency Lady Williams , noted that “since launching our anti-bullying campaign, we have remained committed to creating wholesome, more compassionate spaces for our young people.
This year-end initiative reflects our belief that prevention begins primarily with education, and that when schools are properly equipped, students are empowered to resolve conflict with empathy and respect.”
During the school visits, administrators — including principals, counsellors, and librarians — warmly welcomed the team and expressed sincere appreciation for the donated material. Many noted that the resources will play a critical role in supporting dissipation of disputes, emotional literacy and positive peer interaction among students.
“The feedback from schools reaffirmed why this work matters,” said Bolinda Baptiste. “By equipping our educators and students with practical tools, we are helping to foster empathy, communication and peaceful problem-solving from an early age.”
The distribution reached 22 primary schools and 12 secondary schools, along with the Public Library, ensuring wide access to age-appropriate resources that encourage dialogue, understanding, and respectful engagement among young people.
Since its inception, the Halo Foundation’s anti-bullying campaign has remained focused on prevention, education, and community collaboration, reinforcing the belief that lasting change begins with early intervention and consistent support.
