Students will receive stationery and Jansport backpacks.

In addition to the three primary schools, The Go Getters will provide medical assistance to three Vincentian females, sanitary and school supplies to the Enhams Health Centre and the JEMS pre-school. The overall cost of the distribution is estimated at US$6,000.

The Go Getters is a not-for-profit non-partisan organization, with its aims/objectives being to assist needy families and students who demonstrate academic excellence or are in need of assistance to offset the cost of school supplies.

The group is headed by Eslon Richards, a former teacher in St Vincent and the Grenadines, who currently works as a computer programmer in New York, U.S.A.
