THE BARBADOS DIABETES FOUNDATION

We write with much gratitude for your on-going support for the Foundation’s strategic priorities. Please see attached photos of the chairs in action and the iCare which is in use. With our request into the Director of Medical Services at the QEH to provide them with Ophthalmology care services, we hope to further extend our reach into the Community.
 
On a personal note, I will no longer have day to day management oversight at The Foundation. I am going back into the corporate world. My commitment to the Foundation however, is unwavering and I will continue to support its good works as a member of the Board of Trustees. The work of the Diabetes Foundation is so critical to Barbados and as my Dad’s legacy to country, it remains very dear to my heart.
