00:00So as you can see, we are standing in a one-of-a-kind $7 million investment for Tobago.

00:08This is part of the Jade Monkey Limited brand, and we are partnered with one of the largest companies

00:16that are responsible for this system, a wind system, in the world next to France.

00:24The investment of $7 million into the Tobago economy was no easy task, according to management.

00:32But Jade Monkey Integrated Entertainment Hub did not stop there, as over 90 persons are employed.

00:40We currently have here over 90 employees, and that comes with families, children.

00:49Encouraging young boys to stay away from crime, the Entertainment Hub has planned an upcoming workshop for boys.

00:57Our back-to-school charity, where we are focused on a workshop, a career day for boys between ages of 9 and 15.

01:07So we are trying to get them away from a life of crime, and try to impact, you know, in a positive sense to these young boys

01:17that are going on to school in September.

01:19Giving back to their community remains top priority, as over $300,000 has been spent on their Christmas bonanza,

01:28with 1,000 families served.

01:31All right, so we're so proud of our Christmas bonanza.

01:36We have been doing it for the past three years.

01:40This year would be our fourth year, and we have already invested over $350,000

01:46giving back to the children of Tobago.

01:50So we're intending to go bigger.

01:52Last year we did 1,000 children.

01:54We're looking to go a little bigger so that we could reach a lot more homes with our charity venture.

02:00The group also collaborates with the Child Protection Unit of the TTPS,

02:05Children's Homes, Down Syndrome Awareness, and other groups.
