Sandals Repeat Guests Donate Wheelchair to NCPD

Many returning Sandals guests, like John and Ann Bechtold, see St. Lucia as a home away from home.

The Bechtholds, loyal Sandals guests, were thrilled to be checking in at Sandals Halcyon Beach and donating their fourteenth wheelchair, this time to the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities.

“We are delighted to be back in St. Lucia and to be able to continue supporting the Sandals Foundation’s efforts to make a difference in the island’s communities,” Ann Bechthold said.

Since 2009, the couple has donated to education and community development in St. Lucia through the Foundation.

With over a dozen trips, they have volunteered with the Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International, and raised funds, packed for a purpose, and donated school and medical supplies, each time making a difference.

“In 2018, we began donating wheelchairs because I discovered how difficult it is to find wheelchairs on the islands after falling in Grenada and breaking my hip,” he explained.

The wheelchair was delivered to the National Council of and for People with Disabilities (NCPD) on Monday, June 20, at a handover activity.
