Beaches Public Relations Manager Elanor Finfin expressed her excitement of the event, “Beaches and its Philanthropy arm the Sandals Foundations are here to uplift, engage and empower the Turks & Caicos community through Education,” she further said, “Reading to kindergartener with the help of Elmo fosters learning in a fun interactive way” she concluded, “we are very grateful that we were given the opportunity to incorporate our partner Sesame Street in this interactive reading experience.” The Five Cays based primary school has been adopted by Beaches Resorts Villages and Spa and its philanthropy arm the Sandals Foundations.

The foundation works closely to provide support and assistance to the schools which also provide a focus for much of the outreach work.
