After contributing to as many as 148 schools across Saint Lucia over four years, the program was placed on hiatus due to COVID and relaunched in December 2022 after the removal of pandemic protocols. Coconut Bays team was thrilled to be able to resume donations witha focus on preschools in areas surrounding our resorts including bothgovernment-run and private day care pre-schools and special needs schools in areas around Vieux Fort including the Rainbow Childrens Home and the Special Education Center. Deliveries were made in the Spring and Fall in timing with the school year and special deliveries were made to area schools providing gifts for the children at Christmas time.18 COCONUT BAY - 2025'
