In an invited comment, the First Lady said Caribbean Airlines requested a meeting to introduce her to Tang, who is currently in Guyana. “We discussed the Kind Soles Project, which Caribbean Airlines has supported from the inception and has committed to continuing to support,” Mrs Granger said.
Caribbean Airlines brings the shoes that are donated to the Shoes that Grow/Kind Soles Project to Guyana from New York free of cost. “I am very grateful for that kind of assistance…It’s a great example of Caribbean Airlines’ commitment as a corporate sponsor and donor,” she said.
In an invited comment, Tang said he met with the First Lady to assure her of his company’s continued support of the Kind Soles Project.
“We were also inquiring what other charities and [the First Lady spoke about] a number of charities with us that she is working on and we have said that we will look and see how we can assist further on other charities,” Tang said.
The shoes donated are distributed to children in Guyana’s hinterland regions under President David Granger’s Boats, Buses, Bicycles plus Breakfast and Books (Five Bs) programme.
