The cheque was handed over by Dr. Sean Callanan, RUSVM, Dean on behalf of Adtalem – parent company to the school. He emphasised the importance of education to the school and added that because of the approach used by the group, the institution was happy to fund a project that is empowering young people. He told the members of the group who were present that they were role models.
“By giving them an education [and] allowing them to develop a positive attitude, I think, you know, it’s much broader than just the books; it’s about how to socialise with one another, how to be responsible people and already, believe it or not, you’re role models – probably for kids that are much younger than you in the community – so I think this is a great initiative,” said Dr. Callanan.
The RUSVM Dean commended the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of National Security, Osmond Petty, as well as the Coordinator of the Explorer Movement and Founder of the Mol-Phil Explorers Group, Inspector Rosemary Isles-Joseph, and her team for their dedication.
Mr. Petty explained that developmental programmes have been organised for the members of the group.
Inspector Isles-Joseph also thanked the dean and the school for their generous contribution to the group.
“I love children and I am thankful for the opportunity to help to build the strength and the morals of these children and I hope that this will go on for years, and as long as the Lord above permits me, I will give it my all,” said the Inspector.
RUSVM is a member of the Coalition of Support for St. Kitts-Nevis Security Initiatives that comprises several private sector entities. The Coalition has been a long time benefactor for and partner of the Ministry of National Security in the fight against crime.
