The work of the Taylor Family Trust
The
just-ended Christmas holiday period was truly the Season for Giving
when several initiatives of The Taylor Family trust for Grenada came
together over the last few weeks.
The charitable trust fund was established in 2007 by Earleen Taylor
(of Grenadian parentage) and her husband Paul, both key investors in
Levera Resort Development Project.
The commitment of the Trust is to assist in increasing the standard of living and enhancing the general quality of life of
Grenadians.
The Taylors and family, plus, Trustees, friends and many volunteers
hosted a party for children from the North of the Island, including
communities such as Pearls, Victoria, River Sallee, Rose Hill and
Levera.
The party was at the Levera Clubhouse, where all enjoyed treats galore
- lunch, games, music, face painting and a visit to Santa.
The Trust was also busy across the Island, when volunteers traveled to
various distribution points to give out 140 Christmas Hampers to needy
families in each of the Island's Parishes, as well as Carriacou and
Petit Martinique.
The Trust worked in close collaboration with the Ministry of Social
Development to gather the names of families in each of these areas,
who were nominated to receive the Christmas fare.

As a personal
"thank you" to everyone involved in the Trust's Mattress
Programme, the Taylors also hosted a lunch at the Victory Bar &
Grill, Port Louis Marina.
This EC$200,000 project has seen the donation of 452 mattresses and
bed frames to over one hundred groups, homes and individuals throughout
the Tri-Island State.
One of the main goals of the Trust is to help the development of the
people of Grenada for the greater good of the country, and the key
areas in which the Trust is concentrating to achieve this are as
follows: to assist in enhancing the facilities in institutions which
care for needy children; to promote the advancement of education among
citizens of Grenada; to provide support in caring for the elderly and
infirm; to assist in the alleviation of poverty; and to provide other
support and assistance consistent with this charitable purpose.
Mrs. Taylor says that she looks forward to undertaking more projects
through the Trust during 2010 and to continue to achieve goals set.
