My Optimism... For the children of the Caribbean

Optimist Nutilia Simon

Caribbean District Governor 

2013-2014

Today is the first day of October, 2013. It is the start of a new year for Optimists - members of one of the largest voluntary service organisations in the world, Optimist International; and so we say, 
Happy New Year!

Under the motto, Bringing out the Best in Kids, Optimists serve over six million children and young people each year through the execution of hundreds of positive children support projects.

The Optimist year runs from October 1 to September 30. Today new administrations will take charge of the more than 2,600 Optimist clubs spread across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean.

From the club, zone, and district levels up to the regional and international offices, the incoming teams for 2013-2014 will seek to build on the more than one hundred year old tradition of bringing hope and positive vision to the world.

District Secretary-Treasurer

2013-2014

In the Caribbean District just over 1600 Optimists in 60 clubs continue to make a difference to the lives of thousands of children and young people in schools, hospitals, and other institutions in the communities. 

Children living with Cancer and HIV&AIDS as well as those in marginalized social, economic, and educational circumstances have been the main beneficiaries of Optimist projects in the region.

You too can make a difference. Help change the life of one child today and make the future a brighter one for everybody.

You've got it...Optimism...Yes, we’ve got it!
