By: Alfreda Knowles, MDRT member and MDRT Membership Communications Committee Area Chair from Nassau, Bahamas

As a nine-year MDRT member, I have heard reports of the MDRT Foundation’s work projects while attending the MDRT Annual Meeting. Now I have had the opportunity to see it firsthand. MDRT is an organization known for giving back. It has always been in the business of people helping people.

I spent today clearing and preparing the ground for sand. I helped clear the large stones and spread the soil, creating a more level plain. It is a very gratifying experience — particularly to be helping others right here in my own country. The mere fact that the Bahamas was selected for a playground motivated me to be a part of the project and lend a helping hand.

The local insurance industry gave us great support with this project. Volunteers participated from the four major insurance companies in the Bahamas, offering both physical and monetary contributions.
