NextGenSKN Cares launched its first Project, NextGenSKN Cares Covid-19 Initiative, yesterday Friday 3rd April 2020 under the auspices of Hon. Marcella Liburd, Dr. Geoffrey Hanley and H.E. Steve Wrensford, of the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party, on Winnfm Radio and via Facebook live.
Today, Saturday April 4, 2020, all 8 members/Candidates of the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party’s NextGenSKN Team delivered simultaneously their first wave of over 1000 Care packages around the entire island of St Kitts, to deserving citizens and residents living in our capital city Basseterre and it’s suburbs, and throughout our various towns and villages.
The objective of NextGenSKN Cares COVID-19 Initiative is the distribution of about 4000 Care Packages to the socioeconomic displaced employees of the Hospitality and Manufacturing enclave sectors, most of whom are relatively young and receiving minimum wage, as well as the elderly, shut-ins, mentally challenged and less abled.
This Charitable Organ of the SKNLP NextGenSKN Team was able to secure contributions from a few benefactors at home and abroad and campaign funds of the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party, which were diverted for a COVID-19 Charitable cause. These were used to purchase items of food and personal hygiene to assist persons struggling to cope with the socioeconomic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recipients of the Care Packages have been very grateful, openly commenting their satisfaction. Many of our senior citizens were uncertain of the reliability of their regular meals, as their caretakers were distressed over the many hours of waiting in long lines outside the supermarkets to obtain basic groceries, and the curfews imposed by the COVID-19 Regulations under Emergency Powers of the Governor General.
Many persons at home and abroad have called to make contributions, whether financial or otherwise and are seeking guidance. NextGenSKN Cares wishes to inform persons that they can make such financial contributions/donations to:
