New Life Foundation makes debut
In a press conference held at the Treasure Isle Hotel, Founder and advisor of the Foundation, Bishop John I. Cline, sought to give a firsthand look at what the Foundation was and how they planned to inspire and empower healthier communities.
Bishop Cline said his thoughts in doing the foundation were to pull away from under the religious umbrella and make it a non-religious organization (even though it was owned by the church) with a broader community focus.
The Foundation, Cline added, “is about more than physical health…” rather he noted, “it encompassed a whole range of wellness.”
It was hoped that this could be done through promoting healthy living and lifestyles by collaborating with the various community and government organisations to provide and increase health and wellness programmes via both public and private partnerships.
He said the Foundation aims to work in the area of environmental health as well as with youth.
President of the New Life Foundation, Chauncey Cline said that the group also wished to work in the area of mental health and build social relationships.
She posited that wellness should be seen as a culture and required a paradigm shift, something that could only come about through behavioral change.
Director of the Foundation, Mr Leroy Abraham, said “This is not a New Life Baptist Church initiative,” but should rather be seen as an “all of us initiative” while adding that many of us have been trained incorrectly over the years with respect to our diet and other areas of health.
The Foundation, it was explained was completely voluntary and a community service initiative and therefore was dependent on contributions from agencies and the wider community.
The organisation's president expressed that the community would be visible mostly through collaborations with other partners and would endeavor to assist in wellness oriented programs that were already in place.
Abraham asked that persons visit the website of the Foundation (newlifefoundationbvi.org) and fill out the forms available in an effort to partner with the organization and get connected with the vision.
