THE IRIS Stubbs Primary School in South Caicos and the Food For Thought organization will both benefit from the funds raised at the ‘La Fete under the Moon’ charity event, a recent celebration held at the Beach House in Providenciales on March 11, 2017.
The cover charge of US $80 included a welcome drink, a chance to win prizes from various raffles and live entertainment.
Friends of the organizers flew in from Canada, the United States and several parts of the Caribbean to bring a carnival environment to the event.
The ladies walked around throughout the night in carnival inspired outfits as they posed for photos with attendees and kept them entertained.
Cofounder of La fete TCI Foundation, Kanzy Dillon, told RTC that the event that she was pleased with the turnout and the enthusiasm from attendees.
“The event was a great success and as always it was a fun social gathering for both the local and expat community involved. For next year we would like to further broaden its scope of assistance to the TCI education,” she said.
La Fete TCI Foundation was started up in 2013 by Kanzy Dillon and Jocelyn Menzies to provide children in the Turks and Caicos Islands with additional tools for a better education.
The first event was held back in 2013 at Mother’s House villa in Blue Mountain, Providenciales, to raise funds to provide primary schools in South Caicos with computers and AC units for their classrooms.
Last year La Fete TCI Foundation was able to provide the Iris Stubbs Primary School and Marjorie Basden High School with 200 educational tablets.
Food For Thought is a non-profit organization based in Providenciales, which aims at providing children with well balanced meals so that they can concentrate on their studies better with full stomach.
