There’s HOPE
The Cruz Wellness Society is a small non-profit
organization established on August 23rd, 2012 and
registered under Barbadian Law as a legal charity on
September 20th, 2012. One of our charities’
commitments is to develop strong social partnerships
in order to ensure it can provide its services
effectively, and we therefore look forward to the
opportunity to work with your organization.
The Cruz Wellness Society was conceived to help
combat a growing problem in our society. The
founding members observed a significant weakness
in the structure of the average family units, especially
in low-income households. There was a strong
presence of abuse, both physical and mental,
disharmony and suffering. In the year following its
founding, Cruz Wellness Society conducted research
into this phenomenon and concluded that the level of
personal development/growth of each individual in
the household was the main determinant of the state
of the family unit. Furthermore, it specifically
impacted on income and income-earning potential,
educational
accomplishments,
inter-family
compassion, communication, health and general
wellness. Further research also determined that the
poor nature of these family units also had a negative
effect on the surrounding community and on a larger
scale the country and its culture. This in turn affects
the economic state of the country by placing needless
limitations on efficiency and progress.
a change in this phenomenon, which will only
continue to escalate if left uninhibited, especially
with the recent political and economic developments.
We propose to start in Barbados and in time branch
out to the Regional and eventually International
communities. Our services will promote the personal
development of both males and females across the
various age and class demographics. We will also
provide assistance to other organizations which
promote social enhancement including but not limited
to, homes/shelters, welfare agencies and health
service providers.
Our main tools in this endeavor include our
mentorship programs, free health and wellness social
outreach programs, volunteer work at various
organizations and our upcoming comprehensive
seminar and workshop schedule which is aimed at
every major area of personal development. We will
deliver all these services with our key values in mind;
Balance, Community, Commitment/determination,
Creativity, Empowerment, Respect, Positivity,
Responsibility, Awareness, Integrity and an overall
effort to be truly inspiring.
