International Merchant Bank Limited (IMBL) was recently recognized for its invaluable and continued support of the Nevis Literary & Debating Society’s participation at the 53rd Annual Leeward Islands Debating Competition (LIDC), held in St. Maarten.
The Nevis Literary and Debating Society has been a driving force in shaping the minds of young leaders on the island, inspiring excellence through public speaking, research, and the power of teamwork.
IMBL’s sponsorship not only enabled the students to travel and compete, but also reflects the bank’s strong commitment to education and youth empowerment. Partnerships like this create valuable opportunities for young people to gain experience, challenge themselves, and shine on platforms beyond their shores.
In appreciation of its support, the Nevis Literary & Debating Society presented IMBL with a certificate of appreciation, acknowledging the bank’s dedication to nurturing academic excellence and fostering leadership on the Island of Nevis.
In a formal statement, the Society expressed its heartfelt thanks:
“The Nevis Literary and Debating Society of the Nevis Sixth Form College wishes to extend sincere gratitude to the International Merchant Bank for your sponsorship, which allowed Team Nevis to participate in the 53rd Leeward Islands Debating Competition.
Though the team did not return with the trophy this year, your generosity allowed our students, the future leaders of our community, to hone their critical thinking and public speaking skills through debate with some of the brightest minds in our region. Thank you!”
This partnership highlights IMBL’s broader mission to engage meaningfully with the communities it serves and support organizations that make a lasting impact on the island of Nevis.
