NASSAU, BAHAMAS — For the past 26 years BTC has partnered with the Falcons Boys Club in Grand Bahama to support the upliftment and mentorship of the nation’s youth.
On April 18, the Club held its 21st annual “Building Youth is Better than Mending Boys” Conference at the Champs Community Center, catering to some 200 boys in grades six to nine from various schools in the nation’s second city.
This year’s conference was held under the theme, Team Up, and the keynote speaker was prime minister the Hon. Philip Davis. BTC’s Executive Senior Manager for the Northern Bahamas, Dominic Petty, also delivered remarks and donated mobile devices, which were used as giveaways at the conference.
Petty also announced at the conference that BTC would offer an extension of fiber connectivity to the Falcons Boys Community Center as well as 12 months of complimentary super-fast and reliable fiber services for the Club’s free afterschool vocational institute.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to the community and to youth development,” Petty told the conference attendees. “Furthermore, BTC is delighted to present smart devices to deserving young men selected by the Falcon Boys Club. This endeavor is a part of our broader commitment to leveraging technology for educational enrichment and empowerment. As we unite at this conference, let us continue to invest in our youth as they are not only the leaders of the tomorrow, but also the driving forces of innovation today.”
For 27 years the Falcons Boys Club has mentored young men, free of charge, throughout several islands in The Bahamas in partnership with the Champs Mission organization. Its Saturday programs have served to offer free guidance to young boys, ultimately preparing them to serve as exemplary role models in society.
