TEF Earns Cherubim Angel Donor Status
On Friday, 11th February 2022 the SLHTA’s Tourism Enhancement Fund donated medical equipment to OKEU Paediatric Ward in collaboration with Lions Clubs of Saint Lucia. The donation consisted of a pediatric EKG machine and Huntleigh SpO2 monitors. The TEF became the first corporate donor to have Cherubim Angel Donor status and will have a plaque placed in the halls of the ward indicating this.
Mr. Winston Anderson, Chairman of the Tourism Enhancement Fund said during this difficult time we have so many people on the frontline who continue to help impact lives. He recognized and commended the efforts of the health service providers and service organizations who have done a fantastic job.
“I am very proud to stand in representation of a group of service providers, the SLHTA and the Tourism Enhancement Fund and all its contributors. Because of the fund and the work of the SLHTA we continue to help impact lives and communities.” Anderson exclaimed. “We are proud to partner with the Lions Club of Saint Lucia to provide this much needed piece of equipment.” he concluded.
This completes the first of a three-year commitment by the SLHTA to provide support to the Paediatric Ward. Thanks also to the many visitors to our shores who donate to our Tourism Enhancement Fund, making these projects possible.

Congratulations to Chef Shorne Benjamin
About Shorne
The St. Lucian born chef left the island in his late teens to study finance at New York’s Mercy College in 1998, eventually making his mark as a successful stockbroker. But the trajectory of his career soon changed after the global financial crisis in 2008. The turbulent time forced Benjamin to reevaluate his future and gave him space to get reacquainted with his culinary skills, a passion that was nurtured while growing up with his grandmother in St. Lucia.
