Annual Back To School Drive The Caribbean American Heritage Foundation of Texas (CAHFT) will celebrate its Fourteenth (14th) Annual Back-To-School Drive, benefiting underserved, economically disadvantaged students in the Caribbean and in particular, the island-nation of Saint Lucia. Our partner in the first years of the School Drive in Saint Lucia was the then Soufriere Public Library Librarian Ms. Catherine Prospere (retired, 2018); she and her staff have held annual hand-over ceremonies at the Library, ensuring that the students received our donation of school supplies. Our Annual Back-To-School drive supports the United Nations Sustainable Goal 4: Quality Education - "Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people's lives and sustainable development. Major progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly for women and girls." Over the past thirteen (13) years, CAHFT typically send 3-5 55-gallon barrels contained over 2,300 items including over 400 notebooks and more than 560 No. 2 pencils the Saint Lucia and other Caribbean islands during our Annual School Drive. Other items in the barrels included pens, pencils, crayons and pencil sharpeners. CAHFT continue to do our part to assist the future leaders of Saint Lucia and the Caribbean achieve their educational goals and objectives by donating these much needed school supplies to these underserved communities. 0 21300 Annual Back To School Program 0 21300 The Caribbean American Heritage Foundation of Texas Scholarship Fund - Three Scholarships awarded of $1,000. each. 0 3000 Shipping Cost for School Supplies to the Caribbean 0 3152 48752 Peter L Rene Chairman & CEO 30 0 0 0 Ana Valenzuela President 20 0 0 0 Connie Perez Vice President 15 0 0 0 Marvan Pilgrim Secretary 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TX Peter L Rene 3500 Woodchase Drive STE 1402 Houston TX 77042 7137835779 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 21502 16862 15242 20698 32952 107256 21502 16862 15242 20698 32952 107256 107256 107256 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Annual Back To School Program Costs.
