Georgetown

July 2003

Due to a high rate of development, Georgetown, the capital city of the Cayman Islands, lacks sufficient urban parkland. At the same time, there is also a lack of facilities for the city’s growing teenage population. Seacology is supporting the construction of the youth center in exchange for the establishment of a seven-acre park in Georgetown.

Full or partial funding for this project provided by

Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation.

July 2005 - The center sustained damage to its roof and was flooded during September 2004's Hurricane Ivan. Many trees in the seven-acre park were destroyed. Project coordinator Pastor Al Ebanks reports that repairs to the center will be completed by the end of the year. John Gray High School was badly damaged by the hurricane. The youth center is acting as a temporary home to several classes until repairs to the school are completed. The John Gray Recyclers (a youth group from John Gray High School which donated funds for the Naikorokoro, Fiji kindergarten project) are helping replace and plant new trees. Repairs to the youth center are scheduled to take place in mid-2005 after the temporarily housed students move back to the restored high school.
