Paula Clarke
Founder & CEO
VHDC is a non profit was founded to help relieve poverty in the lives of an impoverished youth and their families throught-out the Caribbean. God has given the privileges of standing in the gap for underprivileged children and their families.
Knowing who we are and what you are good at, and having the ability to convey that to others through your action is the key to this mission. Growing up in the Island I have first-hand knowledge of what hunger and not having the basic necessities can do in the live of a child and how it can negatively impact ones life.
My moto : A VOICE for the Youth! HOPE for a better tomorrow: Always DREAM For a brighter future and find the COURAGE to stand though challenges and adversity.

My desires to give back to young people and the community. As a Youth Leader, I am aware that the little things one does to help a youth of today can have a significant impact on their future.
It is my belie that reaching out to one child can change the direction of an entire generation. Building a trusting and caring relationship with children is the most important aspect to a child.
