Sowing seeds of Hope for Haiti

To ensure the execution of the project, e TecK partnered with “Is There Not A Cause” (ITNAC), the locally based non-profit organisation that gives relief to Haiti and other nations in need of aid.

The e TecK’s employees were put to the challenge to donate non-perishable food items, over-the-counter medication and household linen for the hurricane victims. Staff showed no hesitation to lend assistance and items were donated daily and there was an eagerness to help as much as possible. Although e TecK’s members pioneered with the “Sowing Seeds of Hope” project, they weren’t the sole contributors.

V&S Pharmaceuticals Ltd, one of e TecK’s Frederick Settlement Business Park tenants, donated pharmaceutical supplies. The company was more than elated to be a part of the collaborative effort and support the cause, said a media release. Varune Persad, the company’s managing director stated: “As a company we are always willing to assist those in distress whenever the need should arise.” E TecK’s Corporate Social Response (CSR ) programme’s overarching goal is to enable positive, meaningful change and ultimately sustainable development in many communities and in this instance the people of Haiti, the release said.

Co-ordinator of the Sowing Seeds of Hope project and e TecK’s marketing and communications assistant, Melanie-Joy Anthony said: “Our priority with this project is to plant hope in the hearts of the Haitians touched by this initiative and to shine some light as they cultivate their future.”
