‘The Lady in Me’ Vision Board Workshop and Brunch

#TurksandCaicos, April 7, 2022 – In keeping with its mission to facilitate development and self-sufficiency among the people of Turks and Caicos Islands, the Department of Social Development and Welfare in partnership with UNICEF hosted its annual The Lady in Me programme on the island of South Caicos on March 31, 2022.

The programme reached 21 female students from forms 1 and 2 at the Marjorie Basden High school and sought to create a space where these young ladies can interact with, learn from the experience of older women and be inspired and empowered to greatness.

The programme which was hosted at the East Bay Resort saw young ladies participating in capacity building sessions on topics such as “Goal setting and achievable steps” and “Your thoughts become your reality”. The young girls helped in identifying presenters from the community of South Caicos who they would like to speak to them. Miss Kiatana Robinson and Miss Maria Clare, women of the soul spoke vibrantly and informatively into these young ladies lives.

The day culminated with the girls creating vision boards outlining their personal goals and aspirations and with a commitment to focus on and achieve those goals.

Commenting on the workshop, Director Tiffany Thomas-Browne who was in attendance and a leading lady who grew up in South Caicos said, “Everyone needs someone to encourage and mentor them to their fullest potential. Persons they can aspire to become and guide them in fulfilling their goals and purpose in life through such positive interactions and relationships. This Vision Board workshop set out to accomplish just that and to help the young ladies to believe in writing their visions down and knowing they can achieve it. Many thanks to my team who assisted in the preparation and organization to ensure its success.”

The Department of Social Development and Welfare stands committed to empowering and safeguarding the children of these beautiful by nature Turks and Caicos Islands.
