The Peace Is Possible campaign was launched by JCI in 2016. JCI Barbados has been supporting this campaign since its infancy. Peace should not only be discussed on one day, instead it should be a continuous discussion until it is realised. Therefore, we will continue to raise awareness and advocate for peace. Follow our Facebook album as we document commitments for peace across Barbados.

Mathfanatix is a project geared towards reigniting interest in Mathematics within children, by offering free 11+ tutorials. This project resumed execution on September 17th, 2016 and will conclude on April 29th, 2017.
During the latter part of September, Tropical Storm Matthew would have affected Barbados and other islands in the Lesser Antilles. It would have later upgraded to a hurricane and caused devastation. We pray for those who are still feeling the effects of the hurricane, especially Haiti.

These were located at various malls across the island and one pop-shop even took the form of a bake-sale to generate more fees. Commendations to Chairperson Chanté Gittens and the committee for the hard work.
