The Kiwanis Club of St George’s, whose main thrush is “serving the children of the world”, had decided that the SCARS workshop would not be limited to club members, but rather opened to the community. Held at the Heritage Centre in St George’s the event also attracted participants from Pembroke and from Warwick. Since SCARS works towards the elimination of all types of child abuse, and Kiwanis’ main interest is improving the lot of children it was felt that the workshop would be of great benefit to members and friends.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers, dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.
