Ministries Antigua - Haiti Christmas 2005
The
Schools Twinning Educational Empowerment programme has been designed to
create, establish and encourage, linkages between the schools of Haiti,
Grenada (Carriacou), Guyana and Barbados, expanding exponentially to enjoy
the camaraderie resulting from a global network. Schools interested and
available for Twinning are located in a number of countries, including:
• Barbados;
• Grenada & Carriacou;
• Guyana;
• Haiti;
• Malawi;
• England;
• The United States of America;
• and Canada
The benefits to be gained for participating schools include:
• the opportunity for lending compassionate support to recovering
students of similar age and gender;
• the opportunity to assist in humanitarian relief efforts throughout
the Caribbean through the ‘Baby Survival Kit’ initiative;
• the learning experience of a cultural exchange of information
on respective countries;
• the opportunity to form long-lasting friendships via Internet
and airmail;
• the exchange of ideas, opinions and “a glimpse”
at the lifestyle of another child;
• The opportunity for exposure to alternative working teaching
methods, aids and languages;
• The opportunity for schools to obtain or exchange equipment,
books and visit each other’s websites with the compliments of
the United Caribbean Trust’ website www.UnitedCaribbean.com
• The opportunity to visit other islands, staying in Youth Hostel
Mission facilities provided at the United Caribbean Headquarters and
various Mission Projects.
It is the intention of United Caribbean Trust to create a dedicated
web page for each participating school; this page will be useful
in lending encouragement to the potential for IT Programmes. It
will facilitate familiarity with computers and will be designed
to attract equipment and other “wish list” donations,
globally.
This page is a framework that teachers and pupils can build on.
United Caribbean is willing and able to help in this process.
