Sagicor Life Inc recently illuminated the holiday season through a vibrant Christmas celebration for families and children from the New Orleans and Chapman Lane communities in St. Michael, Barbados. The event, held at the New Orleans Police Community Outpost, attracted over 150 participants who enjoyed an afternoon of music, entertainment, and festive camaraderie.
This gathering represents a strategic component of Sagicor’s ongoing support for the Learning in Harmony Homework Programme, an educational partnership with the Barbados Police Service. The initiative delivers academic lessons, mentorship opportunities, and comprehensive support for youth in surrounding neighborhoods.
Sergeant Wendell Weeks, Coordinator of the Homework Programme, expressed profound inspiration at the community response. “The exceptional turnout surpassed our expectations,” Weeks noted. “Witnessing such enthusiastic participation from children and parents reaffirms the programme’s vital role in community development. Corporate partnerships like ours with Sagicor amplify our impact beyond what we could accomplish independently.”
Paul Inniss, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sagicor Life Inc (Barbados), emphasized the company’s philosophical commitment to community investment. “Christmas fundamentally embodies unity, generosity, and mutual support—values that this event perfectly captures,” Inniss stated. “By investing in our youth and communities, we contribute to shaping more promising futures. Our collaboration with the Barbados Police Service creates environments where children feel recognized and empowered throughout the year, truly embodying the seasonal spirit.”
The celebration featured recreational activities, gift distributions, and meaningful community engagement, highlighting the tangible benefits of corporate-community partnerships. Sagicor continues to dedicate resources to initiatives that empower Barbadian youth, strengthen community connections, and generate sustainable social impact.
