2009, quiet but productive
– Haynes Foundation
The Haynes Foundation has described 2009 as a quiet but productive year. The foundation is a New Jersey Nonprofit 501(c)(3) Corporation that is devoted towards the development of education, sports and humanity that enrich the lives of Guyanese student-athletes, by providing life skills development and opportunities to further their educational development through education, sports and healthy living.
The foundation adopted a universal approach to combat the ever growing social issues in Guyana. The foundation fosters multiple programs from humanitarian relief to extensive educational assistance to Guyana’s children.
During the 2009 fiscal year, Haynes Foundation (HF) had a quiet but productive year. Their collaboration with several organizations has immensely propelled the vision of the Haynes Foundation.
