Accommodation
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
The Grow Well volunteer based charity was established 15 years ago in the Town of Gros Islet, when it emerged that many of the social problems in the area were attributed to an increasing number of youth at risk due to the inadequate social support services. The Centre is a meeting space for workshops, classes and support groups. Grow Well supports the C.A.R.E. (Center for Rehabilitation & Education) Gros Islet School which is housed at the Grow Well Center.
