8. In keeping with Hope Transplant Ministry’s
Vision "To be a Ministry committed to improving the
lives of the individuals in the communities in which we
operate", we present this proposal as one of the tools
that we believe would enable us to reach our targeted
audience and fulfill our Goals.
The Turn Around Project [TAP] is established to
encourage persons from all areas of the society to play a
part in the Rehabilitation of the Ex-offenders among
us.
9. To be an Offender is punishable according to those Laws
and Regulations that Govern our judicial system. We
can ALL agree to this, due process in keeping Law and
Order in our Community.
HOWEVER, being an Ex-offender means that one has
already served his or her sentence for crimes committed
and one should NOT have to suffer eternally at the
hands of society being considered a reject, and then to
be discarded as one who is invaluable to society or the
nation as a whole.
Let us be mindful that ….
10. To Err is Human - To Forgive is Divine …
and to
RESTORE HOPE is our Goal.
Since 1999 and even before then, Reverend Michael Steele
has been working with the “Boys from the blocks” and the
Ghetto Areas – This has prompted the establishment of Hope
Transplant Ministries.
Reverend Steele spent many years getting to know and
understand The Culture, Lifestyles and Ways of Thinking of
these Vulnerable Individuals both in
Barbados, UK, USA and among the Gypsies of Romania.
11. Vulnerable in a number of defined areas namely:
Negative peer pressure
Penal Institutional Re-Stimulation
Use and abuse of Marijuana and other illegal substances
Gun and Ammunition Violence
The Cultural established and accepted lifestyle of
promiscuity which becomes even more destabilizing when
mixed with the substance abuse culture.
BEING FATHERLESS – Raised without the full parental
support of the biological father. [ Major Issue]
Vulnerable Individuals
12. In an effort to take this drive forward, a committee has been formed.
The Committee Members are
Chairperson: Reverend Michael A. Steele, Esq.
Secretary/Treasurer: Jeannie McCaskie
Assistant Secretary Treasurer: Malvina Gibson [ CKE Security]
Public Relations Officer: Rev. M. A. Steele
Other Members: Samuel Lee Goodson [USA], Larry Green [USA] Henrique
Cassel [USA} - Others TBA
The following proposal has been prepared to request your Organization’s
Endorsement and Support .
We would also like to embrace your Commitment to assisting with the
Raising Awareness, the Processing and Validation of the Service Users.
This project is designed with the awareness of over 20 years of PERSONAL
RESEARCH and we trust that its Integration into the Penal Reform System of
Barbados would be Established.

part having a number of Key Elements all carefully
thought out and designed for a FULL Re-integration of

Elements catering to the SUs Finding Themselves and

The Global Perspective
17. Each part is made up of key Elements to complete the
whole.
VERY IMPORTANT - For this program to be a total
success it MUST incorporate ALL Four PARTS and their
ELEMENTS at the right sections of the program.
Personal Experience have taught us that TIMING is of
most importance when dealing with Ex-Offenders.
They are those who have unpredictable behavioural
patterns and also those who join programs for their own
personal benefit and nothing to do with the expected
outcomes of the Project Managers.
This is where Training, Experience and Divine help are
crucial to the successful execution of said Program.
