The \u201cBecause We Care\u201d initiative provided an opportunity for us to give-up a portion our salaries so that persons less fortunate than ourselves can benefit. COVID -19 has impacted all of us, but those of us who can give back are happy to do so. Initiatives of this nature reflect the \u2018Cayman Kind\u2019 which we at CUC find important to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Tamara Hurlston, Director of NAU expressed her satisfaction with such initiatives like this one. She stated that, \u201cAs a country, we all have a social responsibility to assist our fellowmen by uplifting one another and providing financial and other support. I encourage other corporations and individuals to follow the lead of the CUC by assisting those in need who continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and other financial challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBecause We Care\u201d Initiative commenced on July 2020 and will continue until the end of<br \/>\nDecember 2020.
