The Pearl Island Foundation continues to support a mobile healthcare programme in co-ordination with the Ministry of Health. The programme aims to provide the population with access to healthcare and sanitation.
The Playa Grande project, through the Playa Grande Foundation, continues developing programmes aimed at the sustainable development of the surrounding communities.
PEARL ISLANDThe Pearl Island Foundation (the ‘Foundation’), in co-ordination with the regional NGOs and the local community, continues to invest in programmes designed to protect the environment and enhance the local economic and social development of the community at Pearl Island in order to make a significant difference in the lives of the local population. The Foundation seeks to strike a balance between social, economic and environmental development and cultural traditions. 2014 was marked by several milestones in four main themes:
1. Community Relations: Continued developing and executing a strategy to strengthen our relationship with the community. The main goals are to strengthen the social structure and local government, to improve communication and information amongst the community, and to maintain the public infrastructure. To achieve these goals, the Foundation has offered seminars on issues related to peaceful conflict resolution, leadership, teamwork, and community planning and administration. It also offered training in power plant maintenance and started a project for a local newspaper.
2. Education, Culture and Sports: Undertook efforts to improve the standard of local education, investing in the lives of the next generation. In 2014, the programme instituted a new Bachelor Degree in Tourism (grades 10th through 12th) and developed new pavilions to attend to this new group of students. The programme has been designed and developed with the approval and oversight of Panama’s Ministry of Education. In addition, the Foundation remodelled a building for a new Community Development Center.
3. Health and Environment: Promoted the building of environmental and cultural conscience and helped improve access to basic services such as health, sanitation and clean water which is a constant challenge with the local population often unable to travel to hospitals for medical care. In 2014 the Foundation developed a project for solid waste management, continued building sidewalks, and improved the sewage system as well as potable water plant. It also continued supporting a mobile healthcare programme in co-ordination with the Ministry of Health. The programme aims to provide the population with access to healthcare and sanitation.
4. Economic Development: Teamed up with INADEH (National Institute for Vocational Training and Human Development) to provide the community with basic training and marketable skills in vocations such as retailing skills and dress making, that to prepare the community for tourism and hospitality employment and provide a measure of independence and economic empowerment.
THE PLAYA GRANDE PROJECTThe Playa Grande project continues developing programmes aimed at the sustainable development of the surrounding communities in its area of influence in the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The focus for this year has been placed on the areas of education and culture with the pursuit of the following key initiatives:
1. A pre-school for over 30 local children in the town of Abreu. The Playa Grande project finances the pre-school programme and runs it in partnership with the Dream Project Foundation.
2. The continued financing of a reading enhancement programmes, in the elementary public school in the town of Abreu, in partnership with the Dream Project Foundation.
3. Sponsorship of surfing competitions and an annual 10k run for regional athletes.
4. Principal sponsor and organising committee member of the Rio San Juan carnival, the main annual cultural event in the region, with its artisanal mask, costume and carnival troupe competitions. The Rio San Juan carnival has developed into a unique cultural event, with all participants integrating a marine theme to their costumes.
5. At the same time, the Foundation has been working to establish a community clinic, which will provide free health coverage to the local community. Efforts are undertaken to create ties with world-renowned hospitals and universities, ensuring that the community clinic covers all primary care needs of the community.
