Banco di Caribe contributes to 'ViBa Teach'

 

WILLEMSTAD:- Banco di Caribe recently made a contribution to ‘Fundashon Vishon Banda Abou’ (ViBa). The foundation is known for its projects dedicated to the community of Banda Abou. Mrs. Dinette Fecunda approached the foundation with a plan to empower the youth of Banda Abou and improve their performance at school. The foundation did not hesitate and immediately got on board to materialize the project. After much effort, preparation and search for volunteers and funds, the ‘ViBa Teach’ project was introduced in 2023.

 

About ‘ViBa Teach’

The 'ViBa Teach' project provides additional support to students from Banda Abou, allowing them to excel in their studies. The teens receive support that is focused on Mathematics and Dutch, which are subjects that most students have difficulty with but are also important for their school career. Providing this support, prevents students from falling behind or becoming demotivated throughout the year.

Every week, four Mathematics teachers and three Dutch teachers help the teens voluntarily. Through assignments they receive at school and also other exercises such as presentations, conversations and reading, to boost their self-confidence. After the first year of the project, it is noticeable that teens are less shy and their newly discovered confidence helped them in other areas of their studies. In addition to dedicated teachers, the ViBa Teach team also ensures that the youngsters have everything they need to get the most out of the project. This includes a classroom for the lessons, laptops and computers, food to eat when they arrive from school and transportation to take them home.

There is a bright future ahead!

Banco di Caribe admires everything that Mrs. Fecunda and ‘Fundashon ViBa’ achieved in the first year of the project. For this reason, Banco di Caribe donated laptops and computers, so the teachers can present the material in an interactive way. Banco di Caribe was recently present at the introduction of 'ViBa Teach' for this year; teachers, volunteers and students expressed their pride and gratitude for being part of the project. Banco di Caribe wishes the ViBa Teach team, success and hopes that the project continues to grow to empower more young people from Banda Abou.
