SVG Port Authority contributes to two Summer Youth Programmes

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) Port Authority has made donated cheques valued at $5,000 towards the SVG Coast Guard’s summer programme, and $3,000 towards the National Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (NTRC)’S My summer App programme.

A release from the Port Authority states that acting chief executive officer (CEO) Carl James, is delighted to partner with these organizations which help to develop the youth of this country.

Leading Seaman and programme coordinator at the SVG Coast Guard Selwyn Isaacs, thanked the Port Authority for its continued support.

He said the Coast Guard Summer Programme has helped to develop thousands of young people over the past 30 years.

Meanwhile coordinator of the NTRC’S My App Summer Programme Rhea Lewis, said over the last nine years the programme has helped the youth develop meaningful skills.

Lewis said this year the programme will take place in Kingstown and in Bequia and will teach young people between the ages of 13 to 18 years, coding and the construction of robots. (API)
