The new school year commenced successfully for deserving students, thanks to RISE St. Lucia and a decisive donation of XCD 3,000 from Team RUBIS.
This funding is instrumental for RISE St. Lucia’s annual back-to-school program, which provided essential uniforms, shoes, books, backpacks, and stationery to children from disadvantaged families.
This ensures they start the school year fully equipped and ready to succeed.
Tamika Celestin, speaking on behalf of RUBIS St. Lucia, emphasized that the partnership with RISE highlights RUBIS’ unwavering commitment to education and community upliftment.
“At RUBIS, we firmly believe that investing in our children’s education is a critical investment in St. Lucia’s future. Every child deserves the chance to learn and thrive, regardless of their socio-economic background,” she stated confidently.
“We are proud to partner with RISE St. Lucia, an organization that does remarkable work in our communities, ensuring that these students embark on their school year on equal footing, prepared and motivated to learn,” Celestin added.
Dr. Venus Cherry, Chairman of RISE St. Lucia, expressed his sincere gratitude: “While many companies cite budgetary constraints, RUBIS Caribbean stands tall with its unwavering commitment to uplifting our communities. Thank you for your dedication to our people and our country.”
This donation exemplifies RUBIS’ relentless commitment to corporate social responsibility, education, community empowerment, and fostering the next generation throughout the region.
