The Sandals Foundation is committed to making an impact in this area through effective Literacy Programs. Our first step will be to ensure the availability of reading material for easy access in schools and communities. In Antigua in particular, the St. John’s Library is under construction and set to open in December 2009 and we have pledged our support through the provision of the necessary resource materials. The Sandals Foundation’s Book Drive is encouraging all our travel partners and returning guests to take along and donate a new book or leave behind their current book, during their next stay at a Sandals/Beaches resort.
