Charitable Work
Alexander was involved in supporting a number of charities. In Saint Lucia, the country Alexander represented in his playing days, he established the Sacred Sports Foundation www.sacredsportsinc.com to help increase sporting opportunities for St Lucian children. The Foundation continues to thrive under the stewardship of his brother Delroy and sister Nova, which have continued to build on the legacy started by Keith. The Sacred Sports Foundation has received grants from the European Union, Australia Government and UNESCO, for a range of sports development and education programmes. The Foundation also has a partnership with the St. Lucia Football Association www.saintluciafa.com.

Famous quotes containing the words charitable and/or work:
“Whensoever any affliction assails me, mee thinks I have the keyes of my prison in mine owne hand, and no remedy presents it selfe so soone to my heart, as mine own sword. Often meditation of this hath wonne me to a charitable interpretation of their action, who dy so: and provoked me a little to watch and exagitate their reasons, which pronounce so peremptory judgements upon them.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
