Tuesday, August 3, 2004

John Papesh, Vice President of Dart Management Ltd has presented Junior Achievement with a cheque for CI $5,000.00, continuing Dart Management’s commitment to the education of the youth in the Cayman Islands.

“We would not be in the position we are today, going into our 14th year of the programme, if it wasn’t for the continued commitment of organisations on the Island such as Dart Management,” said Ravi Kapoor, newly-elected president of Junior Achievement for the 2004 - 2005 year.

“Continued sponsorship of JA not only benefits the achievers themselves, but also local businesses in that they will be recruiting employees who have gained from their experience in the JA programme,” he added.

Financial support is currently provided by Rotary Club of Grand Cayman Central, the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce, and major business organisations on the Island including Platinum Sponsors: Royal Bank of Canada, TEXACO Caribbean Gold Sponsors: Coutts (Cayman) Ltd., ScotiaBank Silver Sponsors: A.L.
