Divi Southwinds Beach Resort - Pack for a Purpose

Visiting orphanages

Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description

Lifelong Skills Training is a family-oriented Learning Centre which supports approximately 50 young adults with special needs from ages 16 through 22. The participants and their families are assisted in entering adulthood through a multi-faceted approach. LSTI provide them with a continuing free education in skills training, life skills and self-help skills to ensure that they live full and productive lives. LSTI offers these same services to special parents who are unable to work, but want to continue their growth as well, by encouraging them to come learn and volunteer at the Centre.
