The Calvin Ayre Foundation has made an investment in Antigua’s future by donating US$200,000 to a fund dedicated to ensuring deserving students receive a quality education.

Calvin Ayre Foundation invests in Antigua’s FutureOn Tuesday, Calvin Ayre attended a ceremony at the Island Academy, an internationally accredited school in Picadilly, Antigua. There, Ayre presented Principal Portia Moursy with a check for $200,000 for the Island Academy Bursary Fund.

The Fund allows deserving but financially disadvantaged students to attend the Academy on a partially paid participation fee basis. The Foundation has made education one of its principal areas of focus, and this year’s donation follows a $100k gift to the Island Academy Scholarship Fund in 2015.

Speaking at Tuesday’s event, Ayre offered a personal perspective on the transformative power of education, saying he was a keen student during his school years, and that focus helped take him from a pig farm in rural Canada to the cover of Forbes magazine.

Ayre, who has called Antigua home for the past decade, said the benefits of the Foundation’s contributions would have ripple effects for generations to come and he encouraged other individuals and organizations to make similar investments in Antigua’s future.

For over ten years, the Calvin Ayre Foundation has been involved in projects around the world in areas of education, child welfare, social development, animal welfare and emergency response.

Whether you like it or hate it, money is an absolutely vital force in today’s world. However, the job market that we rely on to make that money is in worse shape than ever.
A struggling economy has lead to a severe lack of jobs, and now we find both the young and old alike struggling to find opportunities to earn money.
People who have enjoyed relative security throughout their lives have now found themselves having a hard time getting small bills paid, and people who are just emerging into the work force are finding themselves short on opportunities, and often reliant on their parents (which makes the whole problem worse, in the long run.)However, the modern age has also brought with it an invaluable resource that is capable of assisting people regardless of what position in life they’re in.That valuable resource is none other than the internet that you’re using right now.There is an untold amount of money waiting to be made on the internet, it won’t quite match up to the money that they have made in the past, or perhaps even what their peers are making now.
