Sagicor launches ‘Helping Hands’ year two

given to the chosen charities and their projects. Nominations can also be submitted via the organisation’s social media channels where persons can view the nomination video, which features Sagicor team members from across the region.

In its inaugural year, 2022, the programme garnered over 250 nominations and highlighted the importance of inclusivity through a partnership with the Deaf Heart Project in Barbados, focused on noncommunicable disease prevention with Lake Health and Wellbeing in St. Kitts and Nevis and brought focus to education with SERVOL Life Centres in Trinidad and Tobago. Each charity also received much needed equipment to further advance their causes.

Sagicor’s President and CEO, Robert Trestrail, said the team is eagerly looking forward to working with this year’s cohort of charities.

“Many of the Caribbean’s charitable organisations do so much that is worthy of our support and commitment. Their commission is often a great undertaking, moved forward by brave individuals, who stand up and decide to take up the mantle of a cause or issue. We are humbled and honoured to be able to do our part and hope that our contribution helps further the important work they do.”

Helping Hands is part of Sagicor’s corporate social responsibility programme, Living our Vision Everyday (L.O.V.E.). Nominations close July 9th. (Source: Sagicor)

Bascombe pointed out.

He pinpointed in the smart toile a “separate water line to wash you,” and emphasized, “not from the toilet tank.”

He cited the adoption of the water cleansing method as solving problems of itching caused by inadequate wiping.

He notes that excessive wiping “can create blisters,” and sees the innovation as benefitting users.

Bascombe recommends the facility for females during their menstrual period.

Elderly citizens with full capacity can take care of themselves with the innovation.

Bascombe insists: “Just wash it.”

There are choices including non-electric and Electric Smart Toilet Seats.

Bascombe is not leaving it to imagination. He invites you to the location for a demonstration of the operation.

And during this period of introduction, anyone visiting the location can fill out a form and become eligible for a monthly draw of $1500.

Shanika Dasent, a Belmont woman, can vouch for the Smart Toilet Seat. She had a first-hand experience and has become a convert. She was boosted by the monetary incentive which she collected last Monday.

And as part of its promotion My Smart Toilet Seat will sponsor a Table Tennis competition, June 19-24, to be coordinated by National Table Tennis coach Romano Spencer. Tennis players Mikael Hazelwood, Nigel Pierre and Leah Cumberbatch were on hand to lend support.

Bascombe looks at the involvement in sports as fulfilling a duty of “giving back to the community.” (WKA)
