Chapman Challenge launched

The Chapman Challenge was launched today to much fanfare, with thousands of schoolchildren, along with educators, dignitaries, business leaders and members of Government, filling the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium in Wildey, St Michael.

The Chapman Challenge is the brainchild of President of Barbados, The Most Honourable Jeffrey Bostic, under the charity The President’s Trust.

Bostic says his dream is to elevate all of the participants from their respective “lanes” – where they came from – to “Hillaby”, the highest point in Barbados, representing their best, most successful selves. He expressed he was heartened by the turnout – 3 200 youth, including 70 special needs children.
