GlaceGrafix, LLC, and Premier Technology Solutions have combined forces
to assist Caribbean nations.
"Simple Idea Pulls Caribbean Together - Lucians & Jamaicans Giving
Back"
In keeping with the recurring theme and
migration to a “One Caribbean – One People” concept, Premier Technology
Solutions, Inc. (http://www.ptsolutioninc.com) in conjunction
with GlaceGrafix, LLC, (http://www.glacegrafix.com)
are sponsors of a global project that is geared to support the overall
well-being of the citizens in the islands of the Caribbean. The LHL
Project – Lucians Helping Lucians and The JHJ Project – Jamaicans
Helping Jamaicans are being spearheaded by these two companies.
The basic concept is that islanders
living abroad can play an active role in contributing to the lives and
well being of fellow citizens living at home. The aim is
to improve the social and economic
position by identifying the critical needs of various
communities, and projects currently
being undertaken by community groups within the islands to assist these
communities. A website is set up for each island, where there is a
listing of all the participating organizations and their particular
projects being run in the country. Users of the site can then opt to
select which organization they would like to contribute to and what
form of contribution they can give. The best thing about this project
is that one is not restricted to just contributing financially to these
organizations. They can also contribute by volunteering their time or
resources, (e.g., books, office/computer equipment and clothing) –
anything that would improve the overall lives and well being of a
community. Many of us are not aware of all the many
organizations that are set up for this sole purpose in our island
homes. By making this information readily available via the web, gives
us the access needed to set things in motion in making a difference in
people’s lives.
The two entrepreneurs – Christopher
Kerr, originally from Jamaica and Keitha Glace from St. Lucia
respectively, had this to say about this initiative: “We are committed
to contributing to our fellow islanders by utilizing, technology,
resources, expertise and business acumen. By pooling our resources, we
can affect transformation at a greater rate throughout the Caribbean
region. We encourage all others who are capable of doing likewise, to
embrace the opportunity that this offers to help each other in becoming
a united community. Remember – TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.”
In giving you receive. That is in
fact true with this program. This project is scheduled to be rolled
out across the region. We are looking for committed participants from
all the islands to spearhead similar projects. We are also open to
receiving sponsorship and welcome all enquiries for this undertaking.
We are dedicated to playing a major role in setting up the
infrastructure for these projects within each of the islands.
What do participants get out of your
participation in this program? It is simple - A way of Making a
Difference in the lives of your fellow citizens; an opportunity to
create a Global Community committed to one cause; a Powerful
Support Network among regional organizations in achieving a common
goal.
