“ Such valuable, beautiful work!

Why CAY?

Cays are found in tropical areas of beauty. They are often on top of coral which protects the surface below them. They are formed by Ocean currents which can lead to potential turbulence for the coral. The Cay acts as a support for the coral over turbulent waters.

The “Community Advocates for Young People” College has been formed especially for our young people who are the rarest and most precious “coral” to be found. With the turbulence their ocean has created in their lives, they require special layers of support to ensure their beauty not only remains but flourishes and grows.
