As the world celebrated International Women’s Day, festivities were also planned at the Sandals South Coast property in Whitehouse, Westmoreland.

The activities honoured women from Westmoreland and St Elizabeth and the Sandals team members from the resort aimed to highlight the importance of recognising and appreciating the diverse contributions of women in nearby communities such as Whitehouse, Santa Cruz and Middle Quarters. The women were treated to gifts, activities and alcoholic and non-alcoholic wines.

The best part of the festivities was that it was a surprise to the women involved and so they were pleasantly caught off-guard by the gesture.

In response, they noted that they were moved by the thoughtfulness of the gesture.
