The Mentoring Cayman programme of 2016 came to its conclusion on Tuesday evening, 7th June. Her Excellency, the Governor Helen Kilpatrick invited the students and their parents, along with their mentors, to her mansion for a celebratory closing reception.

Chamber President, Paul Pearson, made some brief opening remarks before the presentation of\ certificates and gifts to the students and mentors commenced.

A flower arrangement was presented to Her Excellency for hosting the reception, and a heartfelt thanks was offered to the Ministry of Community Affairs, Youth & Sports, Hon. Osbourne Bodden, and Dorine Whittaker for all of their hard-work and financial support of the programme.

The corporate sponsors were also invited, with representatives from Caribbean Alliance Company Ltd., Cayman Leasing, Endless Energy, and Rocky’s Diamond Gallery accepting certificates of gratitude from the Chamber of Commerce.

It was another fantastic year for the Mentoring Cayman programme, and now the Chamber prepares for the 2017 programme.

The Chamber of Commerce is seeking local business owners and managing directors to volunteer as mentors for next year. If you would be interested in enriching the lives of our youth, please contact Nikita on [email protected].
