On December 9th, at the Turks and Caicos National Stadium, United Way Turks & Caicos hosted its annual Reading Fair, a vibrant and inspiring event aimed at fostering a love for literature among young students of the Turks and Caicos Islands. This initiative provided several organizations with a platform to engage with primary school students, highlighting the importance of literacy and championing reading as a fundamental skill for life. Events like the Reading Fair underscore the power of collaboration and community spirit in shaping brighter futures for our youth.

A special shoutout and heartfelt thanks to United Way Turks & Caicos Director, Nina Siegenthaler and the incredible Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty team— Latoya Jones-Harvey, Lisa Lopes, Shanice Williams, Jamie Pollon, Olincia Missick-Robinson and Davidson Louis—for their support and participation.

The Reading Fair also shed light on the ongoing efforts of the “Yes I Can Read” program. This initiative is designed to assist students aged 1 to 12 who are reading below their grade level—often by two or more grades—by providing targeted support to elevate their literacy skills. Programs like these are crucial, as they address foundational gaps and empower children to thrive academically and beyond.

Currently, United Way’s reading programs support several local schools, providing additional teachers to deliver specialized assistance and after-school reading programs. The goal for next year is to expand this outreach by including Ianthe Pratt Primary School, further amplifying the program’s reach and impact.

Volunteers remain the backbone of these initiatives. Their dedication and generosity are essential in ensuring the continued success of the reading programs. A huge thank you goes out to Claudine Ewing, the board of directors and all past and present volunteers who have contributed their time and energy to this cause. As always, new volunteers are warmly welcomed, and their involvement is key to driving meaningful change in our community.
