Dame Jennifer continued on to say that, “Hope for Life’s focus is prevention. The Hope for Life programme provides young people with positive choices, information and the skills to live a drug and violence free life.”
“Since its inception, Mr. Bascome and his team have visited virtually every school (public and private), the Corrections facilities and events sharing his positive message. The Ministry wholeheartedly supports his efforts as he continues his advocacy for Bermuda’s children.”
