The Supreme Ventures Foundation (SVF) recently hosted its ‘Dream Supreme’ exclusive flight experience which gifted 80 wards of the State in the care of the Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA) a free flight experience.

The flight, facilitated by Caribbean Airlines, commuted from Montego Bay to Kingston. 

The chartered flight carried youths hailing from various CPFSA homes including Homestead, Wortley Homes, The Nest, Annie Dawson Sunbeam, SOS, Yadel, and St. Andrew Hostel. The Dream Supreme experience also included a bus commute to Montego Bay for a special pre-flight luncheon at the Grand View Hotel.

Chloleen Daley-Muschett, corporate communications and PR manager of Supreme Ventures Limited, shared, “We came up with the idea of the plane ride after brainstorming about how best we could give them an unforgettable treat while simultaneously inspiring them to dream big – that’s how the Dream Supreme initiative was born.”

Accompanied by 16 dedicated caregivers, the Caribbean Airlines chartered flight provided an experience lasting 40 minutes from Montego Bay to Kingston. The young adults were also feted with gifts at the pre-flight luncheon. Dr. Warren Thompson, director of Children and Family Programmes at CPFSA, praised the initiative as a transformative journey.

He noted the pivotal role initiatives like the Dream Supreme flight had in enriching the lives of those in state care, offering them avenues for personal growth and enjoyment. Beyond mere entertainment, these initiatives hold profound significance, contributing significantly to the holistic well-being and development of the participating children.

Thompson expressed gratitude to the Supreme Ventures Foundation for their unwavering support and generosity towards those under the care of CPFSA.  

“Their dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of these children is commendable, and we cannot thank them enough for organising such a memorable day,” he said

“Through initiatives like these, we seek to inspire these young adults to believe in the boundless potential that lies within them. Every activity that the SVF curates for those who reside in state care is done to positively impact their lives while ensuring there’s always an element of fun. This experience is a testament to our commitment to fostering dreams and nurturing aspirations,” Thompson added.

In alignment with the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which recognises the paramount importance of family in a child’s development, the Supreme Ventures Foundation has dedicated itself to enhancing the experiences of children who have been separated from their families. By fostering an environment of support, renewal, and care, the foundation strives to ensure that there are additional layers of support and enrichment in their lives.

Discussing Supreme Ventures’ five-year partnership with CPFSA, Daley-Muschett emphasised that the Supreme Ventures Foundation supports state care programs for children’s partnership with CPFSA. 

Initiatives include fire safety, scholarships, junior creators robotics camp, and back-to-school dental care. The foundation aims to empower underprivileged children, support their journey to success, and celebrate their hard work.
