“LIME continues to add real value to communities in many diverse ways from the environment, culture, sport and in disaster relief. The Ministry of Education was invited to participate in this program by submitting the names of teachers, preferably those involved in the counseling and or mentoring of students in the various schools in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and their response was tremendous since they recognize the value of this program. The youths are the future leaders of tomorrow, and LIME’s thrust this year and many years to come are to enhance and bring value to the lives of the entire nation’s youth.” said Sandra Matthews, LIME VP Human Resources.

The programme was facilitated by Dr. Reverend Courtney Richards of Jamaica. Reverend Richards is currently a Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Counseling and Spiritual Formation and former Head of the Behavioral and Social Sciences Department at the Jamaica Theological Seminary in Kingston Jamaica.
