This post concludes a remarkable project initiated and sponsored by CIBC.

Last year, we were lucky enough to be selected for CIBC Caribbean’s Adopt-a-cause program (https://www.nicefmradio.com/cibc-staff-making-a-difference/). The Sickle Cell Workshop needed a number of repairs, which got carried out thanks to CIBC. In February, this was rounded off with a tree-planting day. CIBC employees and management, patients, AUA students and supporters came and planted fruit trees on the premises, the goal being to provide for our patients in times to come.

Mrs. James-Williams, CIBC’s country head, decided there and then to sponsor a face-lift for the workshop. Painting has been completed just now – the workshop has never looked this lovely and inviting before. It’s beautiful. We all know that our surroundings contribute to our well-being and frame of mind. The new look makes a vast difference. Below are a few photos for comparison. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to CIBC and everyone who was and is involved in keeping the Sickle Cell Workshop a haven for our patients.
