BWUCCUL honours scholarship award winners

Yesterday evening at their Solidarity House headquarters, the Barbados Workers Union Co-operative Credit Union Limited (BWUCCUL) chose to honour their scholarship award winners with a small ceremony.

General Manager of the BWUCCUL, Corrine Clarke, expressed that the Union was delighted to be able to play a part in rewarding the hard work of the young people of the nation as well as assist their parents or guardians financially as they looked to advance the learning career of their charges.

“We at the Credit Union are constantly seeking ways to show our members that they are better with us; and one of those ways is to continue to support youth development across the island,” she said.

Noting that the union sponsored many camps and sporting activities across the island, Clarke revealed that they also participated in youth empowerment camps as well as presented scholarships to students at various levels in student’s educational career.

“We are open to various opportunities where we can sow a seed and see the return in the young people. We want to increase our efforts in this area to ensure that our youth remain positive and hopeful as they show their fullest, God-given potential,” she said.

The general manager formally congratulated the young students on their excellent performances this year.

“I know that you would have worked hard and spent long hours putting in the hard work and I want to encourage you to keep on pushing and keep aiming to be all that you can be and don’t stop until it’s over,” she said.

Turning her attention to the parents of the awardees, Clarke encouraged them to start putting aside money as an investment in their children’s future.

“It is very important to put aside so that when your children figure out what they want to do in life you can do your part and support them,” she said.

Finally, she encouraged the students to follow their bliss and the universe will open doors for them. Additionally she believed it was important for them to remember that the “key to happiness is to do what you love and love what you do.”
