In a gesture of goodwill several young men have come together to give back to a community that, despite challenges, has given rise to successful young people.In an effort to promote healthy futures for young minds, Naeem Holdipp, a former student, Javon Lowe and Jerome Overbey decided to adopt Victor Scott Primary School.The group has no official name but came together to show that ordinary community members can connect with one another in a positive way to make a difference in the lives of its young people.Inspired by the proverb that it takes a village to raise a child, and with “wholesome goals to inspire greatness in mind”, the men decided to take young boys under their wing and teach them the Bermudian tradition of making kites, which were then entered into the Agricultural Exhibition.Fully funded by themselves, the initiative ran over three weeks where the men came and worked with the students.Ms Holdipp, a teacher at the school, stated that the initiative not only supported the math, art and social studies curriculum areas, it showed how all the different subjects work together and it gave young minds the ability to see where the pen and paper relates to life and culture.She added: “The students had a fantastic response to the initiative and we are looking to make this an annual event to promote the positive development of the whole child.”
