Antigua and Barbuda: Prime Minister Gaston Browne engaged in a lengthy discussion with the directors as well as members of the Black Boyz Foundation Inc., a non-profitable organization, with the sole purpose of uplifting those who are in need on Friday, 26 August 2022. During the courtesy visit, PM Browne indicated that he was aware of their volunteerism through social media and commended them for their social impact.
The four young men and PM Browne spoke at length about several issues, plans, and programs ranging from rehabilitation, youth involvement, youth leadership, and partnership with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.
Prime Minister Browne also donated to their foundation and made a donation of school supplies towards their back-to-school drive.
The four young men, who are all under the age of 25, banded together earlier this month when they provided free haircuts and breakfast to less fortunate males living on the streets of St. John’s.
