Here is a cause that deserves your support. It is a collaboration between Frangipani Beach Resort and Pack For a Purpose. The goal is to help the Blowing Point Youth Development Center.
Pack for a Purpose makes big impacts on the lives of children around the world. It does that with the help of travelers.
How?
Use the available space in your luggage to provide needed supplies. For example, 5 pounds (2.27 kilos) delivers…
- 400 pencils
- 5 deflated soccer balls with an inflation device
- A stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff and 500 band-aids
What you bring with you helps the Blowing Point Youth Development Center (BPYDC) to provide after school programs for children, a service that is much-needed in Anguilla.
It bridges the gap between school and home for Anguilla’s youngsters. Staff and volunteers support and guide them, both in academics and life.
The BPYDC depends on the generosity of donors in Anguilla and abroad. Blowing Point was the first location for this type of program. There are now similar ones in the East End (H.O.P.E. Center) and in Island Harbour (Care Center), which Frangipani also hopes to help.
Here’s how the program works…
Visitors to Anguilla donate supplies based what the Center needs. You literally “pack for a purpose.” Simply bring necessary supplies to the hotel.

Pack for a Purpose works like this with hotels and resorts worldwide.. It has been awarded the Global Vision Award by Travel & Leisure. And it is a certified 501(c)(3), so all donations are tax-deductible for American travelers.
