Country Manager Donovan White dialed in his company’s support for the organization on Thursday by signing an official document. During the National Special Olympics Games on Tuesday, White explained that Digicel international has a strong relationship with Special Olympics.
“We will continue to lend our support to this progressive and well needed movement not just in St. Kitts, but all across the world because Special Olympics is indeed a special thing for some very, very special people,” he said. “The chairman and owner of Digicel Mr Dennis O’Brien was the chairman of the last Special Olympic Games and he will be the deputy chairman of the organizing committee for this Olympic Games so Special Olympics for us means a lot.”
“We feel that we have to nurture and continue to build our communities and the Caribbean especially in a special kind of way,” White added.
At the same function, Minister of State with responsibility for Sport Richard Skerritt also pledged the assistance of his ministry to the movement and their goal of representing the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis at the 2007 Special Olympics Games to be held in Shanghai, China. |
