The Calvin Ayre Foundation has announced two initiatives aimed at advancing the educational opportunities of the local Antiguan youth. These will be the first of many charitable projects to be carried out on the islands of Antigua & Barbuda.
The construction of an eating facility at a local secondary school will house students participating in the government's meal program and the financing of a fence around the school property will help to create a safer environment for the students.
The Finance Minister of Antigua & Barbuda, Dr. Errol Cort made the announcement at a news conference. "Calvin Ayre had stepped forward to sponsor T. N. Kirnon's $203,000 school meals facility as the secondary school prepares to become a part of the national program. The construction of the building will ensure that primary and junior secondary school children are afforded a safe and clean eating facility.
The Calvin Ayre Foundation will also fund the construction of a safety fence along the perimeter of the school grounds, something the school has been clamoring for over the course of several years. At present, the school grounds are surrounded by two busy roads, one of which is along the soccer field, creating a hazardous environment for the students, who often run across the road to retrieve the ball. The other side of the school grounds faces a prison. The fence will not only secure the children's safety while they play on the school grounds, but will also keep out people who do not belong on school property.
Ayre said, "We are extremely motivated to build on the educational needs of the local Antiguan youth, and we look forward to carrying out many more projects in this area in the future."
