Charles Ross presenting cheque of J$850,000 to the Math Olympiad competition. “Regarding our social outreach, we have consistently focused on improving the opportunity set available to the nation’s children. We’ve worked closely with Maxfield Park Children’s home -- giving high school and university scholarships to some of their promising students. This has been one of the most satisfying areas of our activity -- seeing the improvements in the lives of young people as they move towards their full potential.We’ve also supported the UWI’s Math Olympiad in developing a team to participate in the international event. As a former engineer, Mathematics is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. It is still generally underserved and an area that generates a lot of negative responses I do feel that generally, there are still too many people who are deprived of good educational opportunities, which is troubling because it remains THE main vehicle to upward social mobility. There are a lot of youth with the capacity who just need the opportunity. At Sterling, we feel that it is part of our responsibility to help, in our own small way, to increase access to education.” Charles Ross
