National Bank recently handed over a cheque to Mrs Nova Mallalieu, MBE, founder of the Paediatric Assistance League (PAL) in St Kitts.  PAL is a voluntary organization that was established in 1991 to provide assistance to the Paediatric Ward of the Joseph N. France General Hospital. The main objective of the PAL organisation is to assist local children in obtaining medical attention abroad. The organisation is responsible for obtaining visas, organising accommodation, flights and other such necessities for sick children to see specialists regionally or further a field in the United States.

Although the cost of health outside of St Kitts is prohibitive, National believes every child deserves a fighting chance to overcome medical obstacles and reach their full potential. This new friendship is in keeping with National’s extensive programme for the development of youth in our twin island federation. National once again demonstrates its commitment to the people of St Kitts and Nevis. National is the Bank of the people, by the people, for the people.
