Sandals protects

In a media statement, scores of Sandals team members, along with a number of community groups such as the Caribbean Youth Environmental Network (CYEN), the Babonneau Youth Synergy Group and the Ianola Project joined to clean up the Grande Anse beach- Saint Lucia’s least accessible beach on the rugged north-eastern coast. The Grande Anse Beach is an important site for turtle and iguana nesting, which is a prime region of rich biodiversity with over fifty volunteers participating in the clean-up, collecting several bags of garbage in an effort to restore the beach to its usual splendour.

“Apart from actively participating in projects that preserve the environment, The Sandals Foundation continues to build awareness among school children. Children tend to show a natural interest in the environment and want to learn about ways in which they can help to preserve it. Over the next month, several schools will be visited to help promote the idea of protecting the marine and terrestrial environment,” the Foundation stated.

“In addition to the activities of the Foundation, the resort group continues to monitor the impact of its daily operations on the surrounding community and the environment.

Sandals Foundation has taken a leadership role in environmental conservation and invites its team members, guests from the resorts, business and community partners, and other groups to join in this effort to preserve the earth,” the Foundation stated.

The Sandals Foundation is a non-profit organization which was created to continue and to expand upon the philanthropic work that Sandals Resorts International has undertaken.

The Foundation funds projects in three core areas: education, community and the environment with one hundred percent of the monies contributed by the general public to the Sandals Foundation going directly to programs benefiting the Caribbean community.
