Lesley’s Legacy Foundation aims to contribute to Barbadian heritage and create a greater awareness of its links to the development history of Caribbean island nations.
Over the past year, the foundation has been working with Sheena Rose, a young Barbadian graphic artist, as she launches her career in animation.
Rose was one of three recipients of donations from the foundation’s first fund-raiser in December.
