Hands On - Community Outreach

Flight Centre & the Sandals Foundation team up to make a difference!

For the second straight year, Flight Centre and the Sandals Foundation have joined forces to make a difference in the largest community outreach program of its kind in the region. Following a similar very successful event last year in Turks & Caicos, this year's outreach was held in Jamaica's Beeston Spring community. Over 500 Flight Centre employees arrived in Jamaica for their National Leadership Conference held at the Sandals Whitehouse Resort. The conference again included community based volunteer activities in conjunction with the Sandals Foundation that would have a direct positive impact on a community in need.

The list of projects included helping install new roofing on classrooms, constructing new bathroom facilities, painting the local school, landscaping and clearing of grassy areas to construct a football pitch, and creating an irrigation system for organic farming. Flight Centre asked each of its shops and businesses sending representatives to the leadership conference in September to raise money to cover the cost of materials, tools and transportation in order to make the projects happen. To make the donation even more significant, the company matched its staff's fundraising efforts dollar for dollar which led to a cheque presentation for $50,000.
