Silverstein is pictured with the John Gray Recyclers at our Commonwealth Youth Services Awards Presentation evening organised
by the Cayman Islands' Department of Youth & Sports, at Pedro Castle in February 2003. Jeremy Forbes,
our President, is seen handing Duane a cheque for one thousand pounds sterling (our award stipend) towards the protection
of 17 sq miles of coral reefs in Naikorokoro, Ovalau, in Fiji. In return the John Gray Recyclers, with the help of the
Huff School, in California, and the Seacology Foundation, have raised sufficient for the building of a kindergarten
in Naikorokoro. It was officially
opened by the John Gray Recyclers on 7 July 2004. Click the picture to find out more about this wonderful project.
Click on picture below
to meet the villagers of Naikorokoro, Laselase and YasawaIRara, as well as the teachers and students at the school in Ovalau.
They all need our help and support, as do their beautiful, threatened coral reefs!
The people of YasawaIRara are bravely trying to
preserve their way of life but are facing many difficulties and need our help. They comprise of around 600 villagers with
no running water, and very little water in the dry season, no school, and no medical facilities. They have already agreed
to preserve two of their islands for the Seacology Foundation and they have built them a beautiful Community Centre where
we stayed when we visited them. The people do not even have tools to help them mend anything that goes wrong. They have no
transportation, and the only food they have apart from what they grow is the flying fox which needs to be preserved. So you
can see that they really need our help! Just a small donation from each of us will help them to live a happy and fulfilled
life. The Seacology Foundation are unable to offer more assistance to these villagers at this time as they have many more
islanders around the world to assist.
