The Foundation focuses on bringing a greater sense of awareness to the world’s major social, environmental, and health issues, such as the health impacts of climate change in Small Island Developing States.

During the event, students got to see how a tornado is formed🌪️😊

The Ashley Lashley Foundation’s Eco-Active Youth School Tours made a comeback before summer break! Teaching children about climate change allows them to develop a sense of responsibility & passion for the world, and we need all hands on deck to reverse this climate crisis.

CLF worked with Sidney to execute a Microgrid Project in Dominica, which won the CREF 2023 Best Resilient Energy Project, and to deploy a renewable cold-chain storage project at 10 polyclinics throughout Barbados to keep vaccine fridges operational during & after disasters.🙌🏿

Thank you @rihanna! The Bridgetown Initiative is an opportunity for world leaders to reform development finance and help poor countries address the climate crisis. We must unite to make real progress.

The climate crisis is our reality. Adaptation is key.

Juneteenth signified a new independence day in the United States. Today, the holiday serves as a valuable reminder to never give up hope in uncertain times. #Independence #Celebration

We hope everyone has plans for #Juneteenth today! Here is a brief history as a reminder of why we celebrate⬇️

On June 19, 1865, thousands of Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, where they announced that the 250,000+ enslaved Black people in the state were set free.

[Clara Lionel Fdn @ClaraLionelFdn]

This day came to be known as "Juneteenth.” What followed 200+ years of enslavement was the period known as Reconstruction—an era where formerly enslaved people sought to reunify families, establish schools, run for political office, and push revolutionary legislation⚖️

Their programs holistically meet the needs of youth through several programs including performing arts training and scholarships. Through the partnership with CLF, OTT recently wrapped an incredible production of Cinderella! Photos below😊

Recent pic from our meeting with Operation Triple Threat (OTT) — the only island-wide program in Barbados that builds the ‘triple-threat’ (singing, dancing, and acting), capacity of youth in these three specific performing art forms🇧🇧🎶💃🏽

[Helen’s Daughters @HelenDaughters]

Back in November, we cut the ribbon on the Helen’s Daughter & Hotel Chocolat Farm. Our hardworking apprentices are ensuring the hotel’s restaurants are stocked with some of the best produce!

Be sure to pop by our farm on your next visit to Project Chocolat!

Words cannot express the heartbreak we felt when learning of the tragic school fire in Guyana. Our deepest love and sorrow goes out to the families of the children who left this world far too soon. 🙏🏿

[Mia Amor Mottley @miaamormottley]

The news of the fire at the Mahdia Secondary School in Guyana, which claimed the lives of 19 children late last night, is truly a tragedy beyond words.
To @DrMohamedIrfaa1 and the people of Guyana, I offer my sincere condolences, and offer my support during this difficult time.
