Bankers Insurance offers HOPE to TT’s Youths

Bankers Insurance saw the need to spread awareness to the nation’s youths and have decided to embark on this through the HOPE Programme.

“There is a missing gap in some of the nation’s Primary Schools,” said Managing Director Vance Gabriel. “We saw a need to introduce sports to the schools as a form of discipline and motivation for kids.” This programme introduces basic sporting skills, which is conducted on the school grounds. It is also used as an avenue to educate the pupils on topics such as violence in schools, road safety, exercise and diet etcetra.

“I am from Enterprise and I want to show these kids that there is a life away from poverty and crime,” said Brand Ambassador Paul. “One of the schools we visit weekly is my primary school, Enterprise Government Primary School. thanks to Bankers Insurance I now have an opportunity to give back to my alma mater.” This programme is conducted throughout each school term in which six to eight schools are selected.

This term schools based in central are targeted.

School visits are scheduled around the available times of both Paul and Edwards to facilitate their ongoing boxing and football training respectively.

This project is well received by the school’s principals, teachers, parents and students.

“I believe HOPE can make a difference, the kids have so much fun training, and hearing about our stories and they are motivated to try harder and most importantly they now have HOPE,” said Edwards.

Bankers Insurance hopes that through this programme they can make a positive change on the nation’s youth.
