The annual back-to-school drive and scholarship awards by the ThenWhat? Charity have been described as a resounding success, providing much-needed support to vulnerable students in Barbados.
This year, four students were awarded the Patsy Layne-ThenWhat? Scholarship, while two students received the Melbourne Inn-ThenWhat? Scholarship. Each scholarship provides $250 for school supplies.
The charity’s back-to-school drive saw 20 students receive essential school supplies and teachers were also gifted with bags of supplies to enhance their classrooms.
President Trustee of the organisation, Samantha Hazlewood-Ermay, expressed her gratitude for the continued support that made this year’s event a success.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide these scholarships and back-to-school supplies to students in need,” she said. “It’s an annual event that we look forward to, and we thank everyone who has contributed to its success.”
