Giving Back and Getting Involved

Giving back and getting involved in the community is always highly rewarding and all the more so when you can benefit more than one organization or charity with one activity.  This is exactly what SteppingStones have done.

Following on from a very successful and rewarding experience in 2013, SteppingStones Recruitment Ltd. again committed to supporting the Extended After School Programme with John Cumber Primary School in West Bay, Grand Cayman.    Two staff members visit the school each Wednesday afternoon to provide additional learning experiences for the children.  Activities to date have included literacy and numeracy worksheets, reading, drawing as well as crafts and games.

Always thinking creatively about ways to maximize their contribution, the team at SteppingStones approached another worthy charity, the Humane Society Book Loft and bought a range of books, toys, pens/crayons and games to use with the children each week.  One of the volunteers at the shelter who is herself involved in adult literacy programmes, proved very helpful in offering information, tips and suggestions.

The staff team are looking forward to using the materials and books with the children, and if successful will be heading back to the Humane Society  Book Loft for more materials in the weeks to come.


Visit the Humane Society Book Loft, on North Sound Road (located above the shelter) to purchase books, CD’s, DVD’s and games or visit caymanhumanesociety.com for more information.
