Sandals Resorts International (SRI) proudly commemorates the 15th anniversary of its charitable arm, the Sandals Foundation. This milestone marks a significant journey of empowering Caribbean communities through impactful initiatives focused on education, environment, and community development. Sandals Foundation Celebrates Shining a Light on Education: The Power of 15 Initiative To kick off their anniversary celebrations, the Sandals Foundation launched a year-long campaign titled "Empower 15." This initiative centers around "The Power of 15" project, aimed at bringing sustainable solar energy to under-resourced Caribbean schools. Bridging the Digital Divide: The Importance of Reliable Power The project recognizes the critical role reliable electricity plays in modern education, particularly in the digital age. By installing solar panels on school buildings, the Sandals Foundation aims to ensure uninterrupted access to power, facilitating continued learning and bridging the digital divide for Caribbean students. Heidi Clarke's Statement: Empowering Through Renewable Energy "Providing access to a reliable and cost-efficient energy source puts Caribbean children at an advantage," emphasizes Heidi Clarke, the Sandals Foundation's Executive Director. She highlights the importance of stable electricity in combating the global digital divide and empowering future generations. Sustainable Solutions: Combating High Energy Costs The project specifically targets schools in communities burdened by high energy costs. In the Caribbean, electricity costs often double the US average, and fluctuations in global oil prices can further exacerbate the issue. Solar panels offer a sustainable solution, lowering electricity dependence and ensuring a stable power source for years to come. A Matching Gift Campaign: Doubling Your Impact To jumpstart the initiative and celebrate Caribbean Heritage Month, Sandals Resorts is offering a special matching gift program. Throughout June 2024, for every donation of $15 or more made to the Sandals Foundation, Sandals Resorts will contribute an additional $15 towards the "The Power of 15" project. Engaging Guests in Giving Back Beyond the matching gift program, Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts offer various options for guests to support the Sandals Foundation throughout their vacations. These include programs like "Pack for a Purpose," educational "Reading Road Trips," and sea turtle conservation experiences. A Legacy of Philanthropy: 15 Years of Impact Established in 2009, the Sandals Foundation has a rich history of empowering Caribbean communities. With over 1.5 million lives touched and the dedication of 33,000 volunteers, the organization has left a lasting positive impact. A Model of Philanthropy: 100% of Donations Directly Impacting Communities A key aspect of the Sandals Foundation's model is its commitment to financial transparency. All administrative costs are covered by Sandals Resorts International, ensuring that 100% of every dollar donated goes directly towards funding impactful initiatives in the areas of education, environment, and community development. Adam Stewart on the Importance of Education "We celebrate the work of the Sandals Foundation and the direct impact it has had on countless lives," reflects Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of SRI and President of the Sandals Foundation. He highlights his father's commitment to philanthropy, which predates the official foundation by decades. Stewart emphasizes the importance of education as an empowering force within communities. Art for Empowerment: Sun Murals Light Up the Caribbean Further amplifying the anniversary theme, the Sandals Foundation has partnered with local Caribbean artists to create a series of "Sun Murals." These vibrant works of art are displayed in 13 Caribbean communities, symbolizing hope and empowerment. The murals feature a unifying sun motif and uplifting messages, serving as a constant source of inspiration for residents. Giving Back in Style: Commemorative Anniversary Merchandise Guests can also show their support through a special anniversary retail line. This collection features graphic tees, tote bags, and tumblers, with a portion of the proceeds going towards "The Power of 15" project. About the Sandals Foundation The Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International, is a registered non-profit organization established in 2009. Its mission focuses on education, environment, and community development throughout the Caribbean. The foundation has positively impacted over 350,000 students' educational experiences through initiatives like distributing over 6,000 digital learning devices, supporting over 2,000 schools, awarding scholarships, and donating books to schools and libraries.

June is National Caribbean-American Heritage Month and this year’s theme is “Contributing to the American Landscape”. America’s landscape is like no other- full of vibrant cultures and history unique to our great land. This month we recognize the significance Caribbean people and their descendants play in the United States’ landscape! The BLM is proud to manage public lands for all.

Join us in celebrating Juneteenth with the "Steel Away" steel drum ensemble & more! Steel pans (steel drums)were created on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 1930s, but steel pan history can be traced back to the enslaved Africans who were brought to the islands during the 1700s. They carried with them elements of their African culture including the playing of hand drums. . . #weareone #caribbeanheritagemonth #Juneteenth #BCStrong #summerevents Repost from @bcsouthsl (at Broward College) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ced01ozrunU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@jaeylin.snyder: "Okay So- #beingbiracial AND #bisexual- but also being in a hetero relationship and having brown skin. Need I say more? The classic “you don’t talk/act like a black girl.” Too black to be white, too white to be black. Dating a guy, therefore I’m OBVIOUSLY straight because I can’t date a man but like women. No grey allowed. However I’m #Black so the fact I’m dating a white guy means I hate my race.. even tho my race is technically more #White anyway.. yknow, 56% and all.. but what do I know. I identify how I choose. I like to say I’m #queer, and I’m #mixed. I dont have to answer “bisexual” and “black and white.” I said I’m queer, so I’m queer. I said I’m mixed, so #Immixed. Thank you, next. This page makes me so happy. Thank you for starting it." 🏳️‍🌈🏴🏳️🇺🇸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's #PrideMonth! DM me about your experiences being mixed race & #LGBTQIA+ for a feature! #LovingDay is also on June 12th! It's a multiracial holiday celebrating the Loving's who fought to make interracial marriage "legal". Submit your stories how you and your boo met, etc. It's also #ImmigrantHeritageMonth! And let's be real, we all come from #immigrants unless you're Native American. Submit a DM about your experience being an immigrant, having immigrant parents, etc! AND June is also #CaribbeanHeritageMonth! Submit a DM about being proud of being a mixed Caribbean! What ELSE are we celebrating this month?!!? lol i'm tired Check out my How To: Be Featured Story for a Shoutout! ☝️ Following me is required! Want to be featured faster??
