Windward Aid celebrates one year of impact
22 July, 2025
On Saturday 19th July, we marked our 1-year anniversary at the Carriacou Botanical Gardens in Hillsborough — a beautiful afternoon of gratitude, celebration, and vision for what’s ahead.
From humble beginnings in the aftermath of disaster, Windward Aid has grown into a movement rooted in community, resilience, and collaboration. This milestone reminded us that recovery isn’t a one-time act — it’s a collective journey.
We were honoured by the presence of key voices shaping that journey, including:
Hon. Tevin Andrews, Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs & Local Government
Permanent Secretary Leanwall Perorate, Anderson “Leftist” Matheson, who skillfully chaired the event @leftist24, John Montrose, Valentine Fraser & Daniel Lewis.
The afternoon also featured vibrant cultural performances from:
Gaynel Charles
Mt. Pleasant Government School
The Trio Choir
Jelani Moses
Shaka Zulu Drummers
Bassie and the Boys
As we look forward, Windward Aid remains committed to supporting the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique — hand in hand with our communities, partners, and supporters.
Here’s to the work we’ve done — and all that’s still to come.
