In a vibrant show of community spirit and corporate responsibility, employees from the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) joined forces with the Stanley Jon Odlum School of Arts, Media and Design (TVET Institute) to expand the school’s kitchen garden.
The initiative was supported by other corporate partners including members of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force.
The project was spearheaded by the school’s Environmental Club, whose twenty student members and five supporting teachers aim to promote sustainable practices and healthy eating habits. Teacher Snaliah Mahal emphasized the garden’s dual role in supporting both the Food & Nutrition department and the school’s feeding programme.
LUCELEC’s involvement reflects its commitment to youth development, education, and environmental sustainability.
Senior Manager, Corporate Communications, Omari Frederick, explained how the initiative aligns with the company’s Core Values, noting that “Volunteerism is deeply rooted in our Core Values or as we say, ACE-IT which stands for accountability, caring, excellence, integrity and teamwork. Over the last few months our team members have been involved in several volunteer projects across the island. We are not just planting a garden for the future; we are preparing our young ones for their future.”
Inspector Alvin Faucher, who oversees the Marigot, Anse-la-Raye and Canaries Police Stations, noted the importance of community engagement in crime prevention
